In clinic, hearing loss occurs in children and the elderly. Among them, most of the hearing loss of the elderly is due to the aging and degeneration of the body organs and the degradation of the hearing organs, which results in the hearing loss of the elderly. The onset time and degree of the hearing loss vary from person to person, and it is affected by personal physical quality and external environmental factors.

Secondly, according to the survey of relevant scholars, the incidence of hearing loss in the elderly of urban residents is earlier than that of rural residents, which may be due to the fact that urban noise is more serious than that of rural residents, and long-term exposure to noise environment will cause hearing loss. “The development of this kind of noise hearing loss is relatively slow, which is rarely noticed at the initial stage, and it is often found when it develops to moderate or even severe level.

Children are more common in drug-induced hearing loss. At present, more than 100 kinds of drugs have been found to damage hearing. The most common ones are streptomycin, kanamycin, gentamicin, micronomicin and other antibiotics, as well as quinine, chloroquine and other drugs. These drugs will poison inner ear hair cells and auditory nerves, resulting in moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss. Therefore, when giving drugs to children, it is necessary to follow the doctor’s instructions, and it is best to avoid using these drugs.

It is generally believed that women are more nagging than men. Some men who are tired of women’s nagging wish they were deaf. In fact, men are more likely to be deaf than women According to a survey recently published in the UK, women are better than men in hearing, with fewer hearing problems faced by men, Ta Kung Pao reported From 1997 to 2002, the number of men with hearing problems increased from 15% to 19%, and more and more men of every age group were recorded facing hearing problems. But in contrast, the rate of hearing difficulties among women in the same period increased slightly, from 12% to 13% A spokesman for the British Society for the deaf said that male hearing loss or hearing impairment is often related to work, and more people are engaged in occupations that are exposed to noisy environment for a long time. For example, construction workers can’t avoid hearing loud noises that are often harmful to their hearing. Moreover, joining the army also makes men face more hearing problems Based on the analysis of occupational categories, the proportion of men engaged in music industry, nightclubs or bars, concert work, record jockey and musical instrument performance is higher than that of women, which results in that men are more likely to damage hearing than women. Women usually work in quieter environments, which helps them to protect their hearing In the same report, the researchers suggested that people of all ages should avoid long-term exposure to noise, otherwise their hearing would be affected. People engaged in high-noise industries should try their best to strengthen the protection of hearing equipment during work, and not allow one pair of ears to be ravaged by the loud noise. Hearing will inevitably weaken with age, but if you don’t know how to protect your hearing when you are young, the loss of hearing will be faster than that of ordinary people
