Elderly people should pay attention to these points when preventing hearing loss
The body organs of the elderly are gradually declining, and the auditory organs are no exception. In general, people may experience deafness after the age of 60, medically known as senile deafness.
How to prevent hearing loss? You can pay attention to the following points:
Keep your body and mind happy. If the elderly are in a state of tension and anxiety for a long time, it is easy to cause vasoconstriction and blood pressure. For a long time, it is necessary to listen to hearing. Therefore, the elderly should participate in some recreational activities according to their physical strength, and try to keep themselves relaxed and happy.
Avoid noise. Constantly in a noisy environment can cause irritability and insomnia, resulting in increased blood pressure, reduced blood output from the heart, and affecting blood supply to the inner ear. Extremely strong noise such as firecrackers and excessive music can directly damage the inner ear organs. When listening with earplugs, it should not be too long. When using a hearing aid, the volume should be adjusted properly.
Eat more foods rich in calcium and phosphorus. Such as soy products, eggs and vegetables, fruits and so on. At the same time, high-fat, high-cholesterol foods should be avoided, which can play a role in diet and health care.
No smoking, less alcohol. Smoking increases nicotine in the blood, causing small blood vessels to sputum, increased blood viscosity, and insufficient blood supply to the inner ear, leading to hearing damage. Long-term excessive drinking will affect the absorption of vitamin B, which will directly damage the auditory nerve.
Try to avoid the application of aminoglycoside ototoxic drugs, such as gentamicin, streptomycin, etc., the elderly have low detoxification and excretion function, and these drugs are easy to cause ear poisoning, which leads to hearing damage.
Actively treat other diseases of the body, especially cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, etc.
In addition, deafness, tinnitus, and ear pain should be promptly and actively treated.
