Stay away from and avoid noise. If you are exposed to noise for a long time or in a place with strong noise, your hearing, which is already weak, will be more likely to get tired, and your inner ear will suffer from insufficient blood supply, which will easily damage the cochlear nerve and vestibular nerve, and your hearing will decline rapidly, and even cause noise-induced deafness.

Pay attention to ear hygiene and dig less. Some elderly people like to dig their ears with fingernails, ear spoons and even match sticks and cotton swabs, which is easy to hurt the ear canal, cause infection, inflammation and even damage the eardrum. If something enters the ear, such as water flowing into the ear during bathing, it should be cleaned up in time to prevent common acute exogenous diseases and acute otitis media from affecting hearing.

Use drugs with caution. The elderly are prone to illness or various diseases because of their weak body resistance, so they often use antibiotics for prevention and treatment. It should be noted that antibiotics such as streptomycin, gentamicin and kanamycin are toxic to the inner ear and kidneys and should be avoided as much as possible.

Maintaining emotional stability, impatience, anger and other negative emotions will affect the loss of normal regulatory function of autonomic nerves in the body, causing ischemia, edema and auditory nerve malnutrition in the inner ear, leading to a sharp decline in hearing or deafness. So, try to keep yourself relaxed and happy.

Healthy diet Presbycusis is closely related to high-fat diet. The elderly should have a light diet, eat less foods high in salt, fat, sugar and cellulose, and eat more foods containing iron, zinc and vitamin D. Quit smoking and drinking.
