1. Stay away from noise, which will damage the inner ear and accelerate the occurrence and development of senile deafness, so avoid contact with noise, especially firecrackers, explosions and strong gongs and drums.
2. Early detection and treatment;
3. Quit smoking and drinking, and do not use ototoxic drugs.
4. Stay optimistic: when people are emotional, the secretion of adrenaline increases, causing spasm of arterioles in the inner ear, slow blood flow in arterioles, leading to blood circulation disorder, insufficient oxygen supply to the inner ear, and prone to sudden deafness.
5. Adjust the diet structure: Eating more foods rich in zinc, iron and calcium can effectively expand microvessels, thus promoting blood supply to the inner ear and preventing hearing loss.
6. Use or disable drugs that are harmful to the auditory nerve with caution: Before taking the drug, read the drug instructions carefully or ask the doctor if there is ototoxicity. People with a family history of ototoxic drug allergy should use it with caution.
7. Avoid exposure to noise: Long-term exposure to noise will lead to noise-induced deafness, so stay away from noise.
8. Conventional massage: massage auricle, lift earlobe, massage Fengchi point, etc. You can also sit quietly with your eyes closed, put your index finger in two ear holes respectively, and then leave the two ear holes quickly, and so on 10 times. This kind of exercise is considered by traditional medicine in China to have the functions of refreshing the brain, increasing intelligence, hearing and improving eyesight.
9. Don't pick your ears casually: the skin of the external auditory canal is delicate, closely connected with the perichondrium, with less subcutaneous tissue and poor blood circulation. If the ear is pulled out improperly, it will easily lead to the injury and infection of the external auditory canal, resulting in furuncle and inflammation of the external auditory canal, and may also hurt the eardrum, resulting in perforation of the eardrum, leading to hearing loss.
10. Actively treat hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cerebral arteriosclerosis and diabetes: The elderly with these diseases, especially those with arteriosclerosis, are prone to sudden deafness due to blood supply disorder in the inner ear. Therefore, active treatment of these diseases is very important to prevent microcirculation disturbance and delay the hearing loss of the elderly.
