1 Watch TV or listen to the stereo. Don't turn it up too loud.
Don't listen to mp3 mp4 for too long.
Don't pick your own ears.
Swimming prevents water from entering the ears.
Eating celery, lettuce, bitter gourd and onion instead of high-fat food is beneficial to lowering blood fat, and foods such as walnuts, pine nuts and hazelnuts are also helpful to improve listening. Develop good living habits, quit smoking and limit alcohol, and exercise more at ordinary times; When the external auditory canal is inappropriate, try not to dig your ear with hard objects to avoid inducing infection.
Modern medical research has found that eating the following foods often helps to restore and maintain good listening.
Foods rich in beta-carotene and vitamin A.
Such as carrots, pumpkins, tomatoes, eggs, lettuce, zucchini, fresh oranges and so on. Carotene and vitamin A can provide nutrition for sensory cells and epithelial cells in the inner ear and enhance the vitality of ear cells.
Zinc-rich food
Such as fish, lean meat, beef and mutton, dairy products, beer, yeast, sesame seeds, walnuts, peanuts, soybeans, brown rice, whole wheat flour and so on. Zinc can promote fat metabolism and protect ear artery.
Magnesium-rich food
Such as red dates, walnuts, sesame seeds, bananas, pineapples, mustard greens, day lilies, spinach, kelp, laver, miscellaneous grains and so on. If the ear artery lacks magnesium, it will affect the function of the ear artery and lead to hearing loss.
Foods rich in vitamin D and calcium
Such as bone soup, skim milk, calcium tablets and so on. Vitamin D and calcium can not only keep the small bones in the tympanic cavity, strengthen the ear bones and avoid otosclerosis such as osteoporosis, but also purify the ear arteries and improve the ear function.
The experiment of vitamin A and nervous deafness proves that vitamin A can promote the regeneration of inner ear nerve cells-auditory cells will regenerate after three days of using vitamin A in experimental animals, and hearing will recover obviously after seven days. Therefore, experts suggest that patients with neurological deafness eat foods rich in vitamin A, such as snails, oysters, chicken liver and carrots.
All drugs harmful to hearing should be avoided as far as possible. The common drugs that damage hearing are streptomycin, gentamicin, neomycin, chloroquine, furosemide and aspirin. For these hearing-impaired drugs, we should use them sparingly or not, and it is forbidden to use them for a long time, so as not to cause hearing loss or even deafness.
Many people often like to cook porridge with preserved eggs. However, preserved eggs will contain a certain amount of lead in the production. If you take too much lead, it will lead to mental decline, damage the development of the nervous system and cause hearing abnormalities.
Foods to improve listening: lotus seeds, yam, water chestnuts, Typha latifolia, shepherd's purse, mustard greens, honey, etc. , can enhance or improve listening.
In addition, the adjustment of diet can also effectively improve the symptoms of deafness. Eating celery, lettuce, bitter gourd and onion instead of high-fat food is beneficial to lowering blood fat, and foods such as walnuts, pine nuts and hazelnuts are also helpful to improve listening. Develop good living habits, quit smoking and limit alcohol, and exercise more at ordinary times; When the external auditory canal is inappropriate, try not to dig your ear with hard objects to avoid inducing infection.
When people are old, don't treat deafness as a disease.
Most people think that deafness in the elderly is a natural phenomenon, and they don't need to be examined, let alone treated and let it go. Actually, this attitude is wrong. We should find some regular things from the roots of deafness in the elderly, explore how to delay the occurrence of deafness, and especially clarify which deafness can be prevented and treated.
How will listening change with age?
The average person begins to feel hearing loss around the age of 50. This is because, on the one hand, the physiological changes caused by age are very different; On the other hand, different occupational needs and job nature have different dependence on suction. People who have fewer opportunities to attend lectures will find hearing loss later, while people who often attend meetings and listen to reports will find hearing loss earlier.
How to simply test listening comprehension
Surface sound detection. Listen to the second hand of a watch in a quiet room, block one ear and test the other. If it can be heard at a distance of 80 cm, it is considered normal; If you need to shorten the distance to hear, it means that your hearing has declined.
Voice detection. In a quiet room, the distance between the examiner and the examinee is 6 meters. The examinee stands sideways, with one ear facing the examiner and blocking the other ear. The examiner speaks softly (that is, pronounces with lung residual gas), and it is normal to be unable to hear clearly. It needs to be shortened to hear clearly, which is called hearing loss; It can also be tested by ordinary voice at a distance of 12 meters. If you can't hear clearly, it is hearing impairment.
In addition, if you can't hear each other clearly in a noisy environment, it is also an indicator of the decline in suction. All this means that you should see a doctor and have your hearing checked.
How to prevent deafness
Use ototoxic drugs with caution. At present, there are more than 60 kinds of drugs that can cause deafness in medicine. Therefore, people should not use drugs casually. Some old people can't live without medicine. In addition to antibiotics, aspirin, indomethacin, metronidazole, phenobarbital and vitamin E should be used correctly under the guidance of a doctor.
Stay away from noise. Noise is very harmful to suction, but it is often ignored. I often see some old people playing chess and sitting on the roadside watching the scenery. The noise exceeds 70 decibels, thinking that carefree is a good thing. Don't you know that this is not only poisoned by serious roadside air pollution, but also by noise pollution, and hearing is damaged in this unconscious process.
Medical care. People who delay aging are a whole and healthy, which can delay the speed of local aging. As far as many diseases of the ear are concerned, such as sclerosis and sudden deafness, it is obviously related to arteriosclerosis and blood circulation diseases; Patients with hypertension and arteriosclerosis often have tinnitus and deafness; Severe emotional changes can also aggravate deafness. Therefore, the elderly should learn to adjust their lives, adjust their emotions, improve their nutrition, avoid obesity, refuse alcohol and tobacco, and slow down the whole body aging.
Deal with minor illnesses that affect hearing in time. Hearing impairment caused by exudative otitis media, or hearing impairment caused by severe cerumen embolism, is more common in the elderly. Removing earwax can improve hearing, but the method must be correct to avoid damaging tympanic membrane or causing external auditory canal infection; Preventing colds and avoiding eustachian tube obstruction can prevent exudative otitis media; In the past, patients with perforation of middle ear and tympanic membrane should pay attention to reexamination to avoid recurrence; Furuncle of external auditory canal, eczema and herpes zoster should also be treated in time.
Sudden deafness should be treated in time. Sudden deafness is generally considered to be related to microcirculation disturbance or virus infection in the inner ear and cochlea, and blood vessels in the cochlea may have spasm or thrombosis. Sudden deafness must be treated early before neurodegeneration. Generally, among the patients who came to the hospital within 2 days after onset, 50% of them recovered their hearing, and about 5% recovered after 3 weeks. Those who see a doctor after 2 months can't be cured.
