What if I suddenly become deaf and completely unacceptable?

Sudden deafness is a kind of sudden sensorineural deafness with unknown reasons, also known as sudden deafness. It usually happens after a cold, fatigue and mood swings. Sometimes it happens in an instant, no more than 24 hours, and deafness reaches its peak. Sudden deafness is common in healthy adults, and women are more common in middle-aged people than men, and there is no warning before onset. Moreover, the incidence of sudden deafness also increases with age, and 3/4 people are generally 40 to over 40 years old when they get sick.

At present, the medical profession generally believes that the causes of sudden deafness are: 1 vascular disease, 2 virus infection, 3 autoimmune disease and 4 membrane labyrinth rupture. Therefore, sudden deafness is not the damage of sound transmission, but the damage of the inner ear to feel the sound.

The main symptom of sudden deafness is deafness, but the degree is different. Generally not completely deaf. Most of them have residual hearing, sometimes they have the feeling of blocked ears, often accompanied by varying degrees of tinnitus and dizziness.

If you are suddenly deaf, you should be treated in time. Because of the rapid onset and progress of sudden deafness, its therapeutic effect is directly related to the time of seeing a doctor, and it should be regarded as an otological emergency. The time to see a doctor should be within one week, and the effect is not good after ten days. Moreover, sudden deafness has a better prognosis than other neurological deafness. Some can recover naturally without treatment, but the recovery process is different. Therefore, active treatment can still achieve better curative effect, and the sooner the better.

In order to avoid sudden deafness, rest at home at ordinary times, especially to avoid contact with noise or excessive sound. At the same time, prevent colds. Some patients with sudden deafness may be indirectly related to colds, so preventing colds can reduce a risk factor.
