How to prevent hearing loss in middle-aged and elderly people
1. How can middle-aged and elderly people prevent hearing loss and maintain their physical and mental health?
Tension and anxiety will affect the health of the elderly, sometimes causing high blood pressure and so on, affecting listening. We should avoid such emotions and keep a calm mind.
2. How to prevent middle-aged and elderly people from hearing loss and avoid noise?

3. How to prevent hearing loss in middle-aged and elderly people?
Regular massage of Yifeng point (the depression between the earlobe and the high bone behind the ear) and Tinghui point (the depression at the front and back of the tragus and the rear edge of the mandibular joint process) can increase the blood circulation of the inner ear and protect hearing. Massage once every morning and evening, 5~ 10 minutes each time is appropriate, and long-term persistence will be effective.
4. How can middle-aged and elderly people prevent hearing loss and avoid taking ototoxic drugs?
When people are old, it is inevitable that there will be pain here and there. There are many bottles and cans at home for charging. But if you don't pay attention to taking medicine, you may be recruited by ototoxic drugs. Some of the damage to the auditory system is accumulated slowly, and some can cause severe deafness once. At present, more than 100 ototoxic drugs have been found, such as aminoglycoside antibiotics (such as gentamicin, streptomycin, neomycin, etc. ), diuretics, antipyretic and analgesic drugs, antimalarials, antineoplastic drugs (such as nitrogen mustard and cisplatin) and other antibiotics (such as chloramphenicol and erythromycin). Medication should be under the guidance and advice of doctors, and the indications should be strictly controlled.

Causes of hearing loss in middle-aged and elderly people
1, natural aging leads to hearing loss. As we all know, the aging of auditory organs has a certain influence on the function of auditory organs. The aging of auditory organs is a natural physiological phenomenon, mainly due to the thickening and hardening of cochlear basement membrane, and there is no obvious loss of cochlear hair cells and auditory nerve. The incidence of hearing loss increases with age.

2. The economic and educational level is related to the hearing impairment of the elderly. The prevalence of hearing loss in urban population is lower than that in rural areas, indicating that hearing loss is related to regional socio-economic differences. Hearing loss is negatively correlated with economic income, education level and other socio-economic forms.
3. The hearing loss of the elderly is related to some chronic diseases. There is a certain relationship between diabetes and hearing impairment, mainly manifested as hearing loss in the middle and low frequency areas. Diabetes in the elderly can cause slow progressive bilateral symmetric sensorineural deafness. The degree of hearing damage in the elderly with hyperglycemia is significantly higher than that in the normal elderly. So far, the mechanism of hearing loss caused by hyperglycemia is not clear. It is mainly believed that the chain reaction of hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia leads to the disorder of osmotic pressure syndrome. On the one hand, the osmotic pressure of lymphatic fluid in the inner ear changes, which affects the blood supply and oxygen supply to the inner ear and the normal circulation of lymphatic fluid in the inner ear, leading to pathological changes in the sensory system.
What do middle-aged and elderly people with hearing loss eat?
1, food rich in magnesium
Magnesium is also a mineral, and the health of ear artery needs a lot of magnesium. If the ear artery lacks magnesium, it will affect the function of the ear artery and lead to hearing loss. Therefore, it is also very important to properly eat foods containing magnesium to protect our hearing.
2. Foods rich in vitamin D and calcium
There are many small bones in the ear, which are used to transmit sound. Only these little bones are healthy and have good hearing. If these small bones are osteoporosis, it will seriously affect hearing. Therefore, if you want to hear better, you must supplement calcium and vitamin D appropriately. Vitamin D mainly exists in animal liver, eggs, mushrooms and tremella.
