How to prevent deafness in the elderly

For the elderly, the occurrence of deafness is not the inevitable manifestation of the decline of human physiological function, but the result of various adverse factors in vivo and in vitro. So what should the elderly do?

1. Prevent noise damage

Under the long-term stimulation of noise, the auditory organs are excited for a long time and prone to fatigue; the cerebral blood vessels will also be in a spasm state, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the auditory organs and brain. In the long run, it is bound to make the hearing cells shrink and hearing decline.

2. Use ototoxic drugs with caution

Ototoxic antibiotics such as streptomycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, neomycin, and some other drugs (aspirin, furosemide, quinine, etc.) are easy to cause hearing damage. Therefore, they can not be abused casually. When necessary, they should be used correctly and reasonably under the guidance of doctors.

3. Pay attention to the protection of ear canal and tympanic membrane

Do not use matches, hair clips and other hard objects to dig the ear canal, so as not to cause infection, damage the ear canal and eardrum, and affect hearing. After swimming and shampoo, wipe the water in your ears.

4. Quit smoking and alcohol

Nicotine poisoning and chronic alcoholism in tobacco can directly damage the auditory nerve and nerve center. The disturbance of cerebral vasomotor function caused by tobacco and alcohol can make the blood supply of inner ear insufficient, which will seriously affect hearing.

5. Strengthen physical exercise

Such as long-distance running, sword dancing and Taijiquan, these activities can speed up the blood circulation of the whole body, improve the blood supply of the inner ear, and ensure the normal function of the hearing organ.

6. Reasonable diet

The elderly should eat less sweet, salty and fat food, especially avoid high fat and cholesterol diet, and prevent arteriosclerosis from causing inner ear ischemia and hearing loss.

7. Pay attention to the treatment of chronic diseases

Hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, chronic bronchitis and other diseases, if not paid attention to, the symptoms can not be controlled, often affect the blood supply of the inner ear, causing damage to the auditory cells.
