Presbycusis usually manifested as follows: when other people talk, they often interrupt, often appear a lot of jokes, which makes the elderly feel very embarrassed; when they watch TV or listen to the radio, they often turn their voice on very loud, but at this time, other people can't stand it; because of deafness, they are often reluctant to communicate with others, when others talk and laugh, they often leave alone or open their eyes to stupefy; Due to the lack of contact with people, their characters become more and more isolated, eccentric, physical and mental affected, prone to Alzheimer's disease. If you have any of the above symptoms, you should go to the hospital in time.
According to experts, presbyopic deafness refers to the deafness with the continuous growth of age and the gradual decline of high-frequency hearing, even the hearing loss of full frequency, which can cause communication barriers in serious cases. According to relevant statistics, about 50% of the elderly in China have hearing impairment.
According to reports, nearly one thousand old people were tested for hearing. About half of them suffered from hearing diseases of different degrees.
Experts said that in order to keep hearing and seeing after old age, we should first have a healthy body and mind, create a good living environment, and face everything with a happy mood every day. In addition, we should pay attention to:
Quit smoking and drinking
Nicotine and chronic alcoholism in cigarette can directly damage auditory bone, auditory nerve cell and nerve center. Tobacco and alcohol can induce cerebral vasodilation disorder, resulting in insufficient blood supply in ears and hearing loss.
Caution drug use
The elderly must be careful to use toxic drugs that damage the auditory nerve, such as streptomycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, neomycin, etc. Salicylic acid preparations should also be used with caution.
physical exercise
We should insist on strengthening physical exercises, such as running, sword dancing and Taijiquan, so as to improve the nutrition supply of inner ear. It's best to start from middle age, and stick to it for a long time.
Experts said that the elderly deafness can generally be treated with some neurotrophic drugs, but the effect is still not ideal. Once it can not be recovered, appropriate hearing aids should be selected immediately. However, it is not allowed to purchase at will. Before wearing and purchasing, the professional and technical personnel should understand the history of deafness, which is commonly called "hearing test"; understand the main electroacoustic performance indexes of hearing aids, and purchase them to match; pay attention to the debugging and evaluation. If they cannot adapt after a week or two, they need to readjust.
