Case 1: hearing loss caused by wearing earphones for a long time

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
The 30-year-old Li would wear headphones to listen to music whenever he had time. Sometimes he fell asleep and the music in the headphones was still playing. About three months ago, he suddenly found that his ears were not working properly. When others communicated with him, the voice was a little lower and he could not hear it. When I went to the hospital for examination, I found that there was something wrong with my hearing.

In this regard, Dong Kaifeng, deputy chief physician of Otolaryngology Department of the first hospital of Hebei Medical University, said that wearing earphones for a long time makes the ear canal in a sealed state, and the tympanic membrane and inner ear hair cells have been stimulated by sound waves, which is very easy to cause high-frequency hearing loss, while high-frequency hearing loss is not easy to be found; in the long run, high-frequency hearing loss will gradually expand to low-frequency, resulting in full frequency hearing loss Hearing loss. In buses, subways or noisy shopping malls and streets, in order to hear clearly, people will increase the volume, so that the hearing damage will be greater, the performance will be more prominent, and sometimes even induce sudden deafness or tinnitus.

Case 2: sudden deafness induced by continuous staying up late and working overtime

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Ms. Wang, 28, is a business director of a company. She is usually busy. Some time ago, after working overtime for 3 consecutive days, she found that her left ear suddenly had symptoms of ear tightness and tinnitus. She often felt that there was a sound in her ear, so she rushed to the otolaryngology department of Shijiazhuang first hospital.

After careful examination, Zhang Xuemei, the attending physician, found that Ms. Wang’s low-frequency sensorineural deafness in her left ear was diagnosed as sudden deafness (left). Zhang Xuemei said that the long-term working pressure is too high and the spirit is in a state of tension. The stimulation of the inner ear causes the spasm and blockage of the auditory nerve capillaries, which causes the blood supply disorder of the inner ear, the ischemia and necrosis of the neuroepithelial cells, so that the hearing can be reduced without any sign.

Zhang Xuemei reminded that sudden deafness is a common and frequently occurring disease in the otology clinic, which occurs at all ages. The first clinical symptoms are mainly sudden tinnitus, ear tightness, hearing loss, vertigo, etc. if any uncomfortable symptoms are found, they should be treated in time and actively once diagnosed.

Explanation: many factors can lead to hearing loss

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Zhang Xuemei said that in addition to long-term work pressure and wearing headphones for a long time, genetic factors, disease factors, ototoxic drugs, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other diseases are also important causes of hearing loss.

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Common ear diseases can cause hearing loss, such as sudden deafness, chronic otitis media, cholesteatoma of the middle ear, otitis externa, foreign body tumor of the outer ear, tumor of the middle ear, otosclerosis, hereditary deafness, senile deafness and other diseases, which are not treated in time and effectively, will seriously damage the ear cells and directly lead to hearing loss. Systemic diseases such as autonomic nervous disorders, lack of blood supply to the brain, pre stroke, hypertension, hypotension, anemia, diabetes, malnutrition and so on will also affect hearing health.

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
In addition, Dong Kaifeng pointed out that eating stimulating food, especially tobacco and alcohol, is also an important cause of hearing loss. Too much stimulating food usually causes serious stimulation to the capillary and auditory nerve of the ear.

Prevention: multiple measures to protect hearing health

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Zhang Xuemei introduced that the process of hearing impairment is generally gradually promoted. In a short time, the general impairment may not affect the communication with others temporarily, so it is difficult to arouse people’s vigilance. However, after several years, the general impairment may cause real hearing loss, so it is particularly important to strengthen prevention.

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
First, develop good eating habits. Adjust the diet structure, eat more zinc, iron, calcium rich food, avoid long-term consumption of high salt, high fat, low cellulose food, avoid overeating, and abstain from tobacco and alcohol.

Secondly, avoid noise contact and keep away from noise. Avoid long-term continuous noise stimulation. If the noise in the working environment cannot be avoided, use protective earplugs and earmuffs to protect the hearing, and check the hearing regularly, so as to find out and deal with it early and avoid further hearing loss. In addition, attention should also be paid to prenatal health care and newborn hearing screening.

Finally, use or forbid the drugs with damage to the auditory nerve, and strictly grasp the indications of drug use. Aminoglycoside antibiotics are one of the most common ototoxic drugs with cochlear damage. Avoiding the abuse of aminoglycoside antibiotics is also an important measure to reduce drug-induced deafness.
