What to pay attention to when wearing hearing aids in patients with otitis media

Otitis media is a common ear disease, which occurs in children. At the same time, many patients with hearing loss will also suffer from otitis media. What should these patients pay attention to when wearing hearing aids?

First of all, we wear hearing aids to go to a professional fitting center for fitting. When we choose hearing aids, we need to choose the appropriate ear back machine according to your hearing loss. Note that the ear back machine is not suitable for patients with otitis media. Wearing the ear back hearing aids will block the ears and make the inner ear canal not ventilated, which will aggravate the otitis media Symptoms.

The patients with otitis media should be more diligent than the patients with general hearing loss when maintaining the hearing aids. Especially for the patients with chronic otitis media, they have more secretion in their ears, which is more likely to block the hearing aids, resulting in failure and damage. When cleaning the hearing aids, they need to pay attention to cleaning the eardrums and earplugs frequently.

If your otitis media is in attack or when wearing, in this case, you should first carry out the treatment of otitis media, and then wear the hearing aid after the otitis media completely recovers. Do not wear the hearing aid during the attack.

Most of the hearing loss caused by otitis media is conductive deafness. As long as the treatment is active and the hearing aid is worn in time, the effect is more ideal.
