What is hearing impairment

Hearing impairment refers to the abnormal quality or function of nerve center generators at all levels in the sound transmission, perception and comprehensive analysis of sound in the auditory system, which leads to hearing loss in different degrees. In short, it’s what we call deafness, the back of the ear. Hearing impairment may occur in everyone. There are many reasons for hearing impairment, such as noise, genetics, trauma, organ degeneration, drugs, etc.

Many people think that deafness is a disease that only the old can get. Young people don’t have to worry about it at all. In fact, it’s not the same thing. Although it’s related to age, it’s not the only one.

The so-called deafness of the elderly is basically old-age deafness, which is caused by the degradation of our hearing organs and aging. Old-age deafness is almost inevitable for all of us. It will come to us sooner or later.

For example, < a href = "http://www.sqhearing.com/tlkp/1516.html" target = "blank" > Noise deafness < / a > caused by noise. In fact, this is more common for people living in large cities, such as the city’s traffic, various entertainment places, KTV, bars, etc., where the noise is very high, most of the KTV noise can reach 90 points For people who have been in these places for a long time, noise deafness is inevitable. At the same time, some people have made a survey. Compared with the city, the hearing of the rural people is generally higher than that of the urban people in some remote villages, because of the less noise in their environment.

Most of them are caused by genetic or environmental factors. I can’t elaborate on genetics. You know that deafness gene is an important factor that causes genetic deafness. Environmental factors are mainly caused by noise when the child is still in the fetus, when the mother is still in pregnancy, or The mother had some kind of disease, some kind of virus spread to the fetus.

In fact, trauma is a kind of trauma, which is easy to understand. The most common one is the slap of a fan. It’s not uncommon that a slap can cause deafness. Then drugs can also cause hearing impairment, but not all drugs can cause deafness. I mean ototoxic drugs. Taking ototoxic drugs is likely to cause ototoxic deafness. Therefore, you must ask your doctor before taking drugs in order to avoid accidents.

When we find that we have hearing impairment, we should go to the hospital for treatment as early as possible, early work and early treatment. After the clinical treatment, if there is no effect or the effect is not good, we can choose to wear hearing aids to compensate for hearing. Generally, as long as the degree of hearing loss is not very serious and the hearing loss lasts for a long time, the hearing aid effect after wearing hearing aids It won’t be too bad.
