About 65.438+0.2 billion elderly people gradually lost their hearing. What is the reason for their gradual decline in hearing?

With the increase of age, the hearing of the elderly will gradually decline. Many elderly people think that hearing loss is a common phenomenon among the elderly, so don't worry. In fact, this is a misconception of many elderly people. Hearing loss can be improved as long as it is found early and intervened early. It is understood that more than 65.438+0.2 billion elderly people gradually lose their hearing, which means that the elderly have obstacles to receiving information from the outside world, which seriously affects their mental health and daily life. So, what is the reason for the hearing loss of the elderly?

Hearing loss in the elderly is a natural law of organ aging and a gradual degenerative change. When many elderly people have mild hearing loss in the early stage, it is difficult for their families to detect it. When the elderly can't hear clearly, answer irrelevant questions and are slow to respond, it shows that the degree of hearing loss has gradually increased. In this case, even if intervention measures are taken, the effect is not as good as that in the previous period. Because of hearing problems, the elderly have communication difficulties. Long-term hearing loss will lead to cognitive decline, which will lead to changes in the personality of the elderly, separation from society and other adverse effects. It will also lead to personality changes and even self-isolation, and the elderly will have serious psychological problems.

What is the reason for the gradual decline of hearing in the elderly? The hearing loss of the elderly will increase with age. The older you get, the more serious the wear and tear of cochlear hair cells will be, so that the sound can not be transmitted to the brain normally, and the brain will gradually decline if it fails to receive information in time for a long time, and its hearing will also decline. Many old people have no habit of cleaning their ears. When there is wax in their ears, it will affect the normal transmission of sound transmitted by the ear canal and make their hearing gradually decline.

The stimulation of maximum noise and the influence of local trauma will lead to perforation of tympanic membrane. After the perforation and rupture of tympanic membrane, it will affect the normal transmission of sound and make the hearing of the elderly gradually decline. In addition, ear diseases are also the causes of hearing loss, such as otitis media, ear tumors, otitis externa and so on. If not treated in time, severe ear injury will lead to hearing loss.

Environmental factors are also the cause of hearing loss in the elderly. If the elderly expect to be in a noisy environment for a long time, the nerve cells in the cochlea will be seriously worn and damaged, which will affect the transmission of sound signals and cause hearing loss. Hearing loss in the elderly is a common disease. At present, there are no drugs for treatment. Only through early detection and early intervention can the problem of hearing loss be reduced.
