Why do some elderly people with poor hearing feel particularly uncomfortable hearing loud noises?

Hello! A person with poor hearing will also have a lower discomfort threshold than normal hearing, which means that the maximum sound he can withstand is worse than normal hearing because his auditory nerve is damaged. Therefore, when hearing aids are selected, the hearing threshold check is handled, and the discomfort threshold check is also done to make a reference for the debugging of the MPO's maximum sound output.

By wearing hearing aids, you can not only hear small sounds, but also accept the inconvenience caused by loud sounds. Hope it helps.

Since there is a hearing impairment, too loud will affect the great vibration of the eardrum, of course, it will be uncomfortable, and in severe cases, it will cause panic.

Hello, why do some elderly people with poor hearing feel particularly uncomfortable when they hear loud noises? Generally, presbycusis is a type of neurological deafness, which cannot be heard in small voices and feels uncomfortable loudly. Hope mine is helpful to you!

Fear of noise after deafness is called "revitalization" (repetition). Rejuvenation is a pathological reaction that accompanies hearing loss, and experts define it as: "a phenomenon in which the loudness sensation increases abnormally fast compared to a normal person as the intensity of the sound increases."

The essence of rejuvenation is the dyscoordination of the inner and outer hair cells of the inner ear. When explaining the phenomenon of rejuvenation to a patient, we can make the following analogy: the sound of speech is doubled, and the hearing sensation of a normal person is doubled

If the voice of speech is increased tenfold or hundredfold, normal people's hearing sensations will be increased tenfold or hundredfold accordingly. This is not the case with deaf people who have been reinvigorated. When we speak twice as loudly, they tend to hear ten, twenty, or even fifty or a hundred times more.

An excessive increase in the sense of hearing (loudness) is called rejuvenation. When choosing a hearing aid for a revitalizing patient, it is important to pay attention to the maximum sound output.

It is related to the speech resolution of the elderly themselves, that is, the ability of the auditory hair cells of the elderly and the auditory cortex of the postcochlear auditory nerve brain to interpret speech is reduced.

In general, hearing consists of three stages: hearing (perceiving), hearing clearly (discerning), and hearing (understanding).

These three stages are the inclusion relationship, if you can hear clearly, you must hear it, and if you hear it, you may not hear it clearly. This suggests that the higher the back is the higher the nervous system is involved in the activity. The inner ear has a simple ability to distinguish sound signals, after the inner ear is damaged, the auditory discrimination ability will be reduced, but because the person's auditory discrimination ability has enough leeway, 70% of a sentence recognition is enough to ensure that we understand, and there is no need to demand 100%, therefore, the less serious inner ear damage will not make the patient completely lose the ability to distinguish hearing, and the auditory center has a more complex and powerful ability to analyze sound signals, and the auditory center is damaged, and the auditory recognition ability will be significantly reduced.

When a person enters a noisy environment, because the speech signals themselves become indistinct, it is more difficult for people with normal hearing to sound, and even more difficult for patients with reduced hearing function. A similar situation can be created when the signal is too small.

Unfortunately, most patients with sensorineural hearing loss have damage to the inner ear and auditory center, but the degree is different, and the more severe the hearing loss, the worse the ability to discriminate, with the exception of auditory neuropathy. As a result, most people with sensorineural hearing loss complain of being able to hear but not hearing clearly. In addition, the central nervous system of the elderly is degenerated, the brain's ability to process information is weakened, and compared with young people with the same degree of hearing loss, the elderly have worse recognition ability, and the phenomenon of hearing and incomprehension is more common.

Damage to the ear or auditory center is the main cause of hearing loss. Unfortunately, most people with neural hearing loss have damage to their ears and auditory centers, but to varying degrees. As a result, many people with neurodeafness complain that they can hear but can't hear clearly.

The sound perception is less sensitive, just like you can't accurately capture information like listening to distant sounds, mainly because the sound is too low.

The causes of hearing loss in the elderly are related to poor blood circulation, age factors, high ambient noise, and the effects of certain diseases.

1. Poor blood circulation: The patient's blood circulation is particularly poor, including intracranial blood circulation and middle ear cavity blood circulation. If there is a small blood clot, it can easily cause hearing loss in the patient.

2. Age factor: The most important factor is the influence of age factor. The patient undergoes degenerative changes in various organs, including hearing.

3. High environmental noise: If the elderly are in a noisy environment for a long time, they are prone to tinnitus, resulting in hearing loss. 3. Elderly patients often work and live in noisy environments, and are especially prone to tinnitus or hearing loss.

4. The influence of certain diseases: the blood circulation in the middle ear cavity or intracranial blood is particularly poor. For example, there is a small blood clot that will affect the patient's hearing and cause hearing loss.

In addition, as we age, degenerative diseases occur in various organs of the human body, and hearing gradually declines, which is a normal manifestation. When the elderly have hearing loss, they can take measures such as earwax cleaning, anti-inflammatory and anti-infective drugs, and wearing hearing aids. The details are as follows:

Clean up earwax: Go to the hospital in time for a comprehensive ear check-up. If the patient has a large earwax blockage in the ear canal, timely earwax removal can improve the hearing loss.

Anti-inflammatory, anti-infective drugs**: Some elderly patients may suffer from acute and chronic otitis media, secretory otitis media and other conditions. Hearing can also be improved with anti-inflammatory and anti-infective drugs**.

Wearing hearing aids: An increasing number of older patients have worsening presbycusis or sensorineural hearing loss. If hearing loss persists for a long time, it is difficult for medications** to achieve the desired results.

If hearing loss interferes with daily communication, hearing aids can be worn to improve hearing.

Hearing loss is an independent precipitating factor for Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, for the elderly, once they have hearing problems, they should seek medical attention in time and receive corresponding interventions and ** in time to improve their hearing condition and improve their quality of life.

As the auditory system gradually deteriorates with age, the ability to distinguish speech will also decline, so you can regularly review your hearing, find problems and intervene in time, and cooperate with some speech training.

Because there was a problem with the auditory system, and there was a noise outside, which affected the cranial nerves.

Generally speaking, hearing consists of three stages: hearing (perceiving) and hearing clearly (discriminating), and understanding (understanding), these three stages are the inclusion relationship, if you hear clearly, you must have heard, but you may not be able to hear clearly. This suggests that the higher the back is the higher the nervous system is involved in the activity.

The ear has the ability to distinguish simple sound signals. When the ear is damaged, the ability to hear and distinguish decreases. However, due to the fact that there is enough room for human auditory discrimination, 70% recognition of a passage is enough to ensure that we can understand it, and we do not have to demand 100%.

Therefore, less severe ear damage does not cause the patient to lose hearing discrimination completely. The auditory center system has more complex and powerful acoustic signal analysis capabilities. If the auditory center is damaged, the auditory recognition ability will be significantly reduced.

When entering a noisy environment, because the speech signal itself becomes indistinct, it is more difficult for people with normal hearing to hear, and patients with hearing loss are unable to hear clearly; A similar situation can occur when the signal is too quiet. For example, the TV is so quiet that we can't hear it clearly. Unfortunately, most patients with sensorineural hearing loss have damage to the ear and auditory centers, but the degree is different, and the more severe the hearing loss, the worse the ability to discriminate, except for the auditory nerve case.

As a result, most people with sensorineural hearing loss complain of hearing but not hearing clearly. In addition, the central nervous system of the elderly is degenerated, the brain's ability to process information is weakened, and the recognition ability of the elderly is also poor compared to younger people with the same degree of hearing loss. It is more common to be unable to hear clearly and not understand.

Why do many elderly people hear but can't hear clearly, because of the increase in age, the function of various organs in the body is gradually declining, and the decline in hearing will lead to the situation that the elderly sometimes hear but can't hear clearly, so for the situation of the elderly, you can slow down the speed of speech and have a close conversation.

As the elderly get older, they have problems with their nervous system, Erbelon, this is normal, so there are many people who cannot hear clearly.

It is normal for the elderly to have hearing problems, and the proportion is not low, and they can be solved by wearing hearing aids.
