All the ENT departments in regular hospitals can be treated. The ear is a sophisticated organ, and many problems are difficult. After a long time, hearing loss will become permanent and cannot return to normal. There are many reasons for deafness, such as heredity, birth injury, infection, improper use of drugs, immune diseases, physiological degradation, poisoning of certain chemicals and so on. Usually pay attention to:

1, don't pick your ears.

Earwax is called cerumen in medicine, which is formed by the normal secretion of cerumen gland of ear canal skin combined with dander. Generally, a small amount of cerumen debris can be eliminated by itself with the vibration and mandibular movement during exercise. A large piece of hardened earwax should be removed by an otologist with special tools. It is easy to damage the skin of the external auditory canal and bring bacteria into the external auditory canal to cause inflammation, which is not only painful but also difficult to treat. If the tympanic membrane is perforated, it is easy to cause infection and otitis media, which will affect hearing. If the ear itches unbearable, you can wipe it with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, but don't stick it too deep.

2. Protect your hearing

Hearing is a sign of good health, so we should pay attention to protecting hearing. The most common causes of hearing loss are drug poisoning and noise. The drugs that can cause deafness mainly include streptomycin, gentamicin, kanamycin and neomycin. These drugs can easily damage the inner ear, cochlea (auditory receptor) and vestibule (balance receptor), leading to deafness and imbalance. Deafness-causing drugs can be transmitted from mother to child. Avoid using all kinds of ototoxic drugs during pregnancy. Deafness also has family susceptibility. If someone in the family finds it easy to cause deafness, others should pay more attention.

3. Prevent swimming ear disease

Hard cerumen will form embolism, water will enter the ear, cerumen will soften and swell, which will affect hearing, stimulate the ear canal and cause inflammation. If the eardrum has been perforated, don't swim to avoid the recurrence of various diseases. It's best to wear earplugs when swimming and raise your head above the water. Don't dive deep when swimming. First, the water depth will put pressure on the eardrum, and second, it is easy to get dizzy and cause danger.

4. Noise deafness

Irregular and intense stimulating noise will not only cause psychological discomfort, but also hurt hearing. Noise damage to hearing is slow and progressive, and it is difficult to treat. Strongly stimulating music can also reduce hearing. Noise deafness is characterized by high-pitched tinnitus, which changes from intermittent to persistent and eventually leads to deafness. bale
