Why do some people experience hearing loss when they get older?

Deafness is a normal physiological phenomenon. There are many reasons that affect the hearing health of the elderly, and age is the most important factor. As we age, the relevant functions of the auditory system decline.

Generally speaking, 40%-50% of the elderly over 60 years old will have some degree of hearing loss; At the age of 70, the proportion will increase by 10%; By the age of 100, at least 90% of people will experience hearing loss.

Yes, hearing loss is a very common phenomenon as people age. This condition is known as presbycusis hearing loss or presbycusis. Senile hearing loss is usually caused by a variety of physiological and environmental factors.

First of all, the body's ear tissue naturally ages with age. For example, the number of auditory hair cells in the cochlea decreases and the eardrum becomes stiff, which can affect the transmission and perception of sound waves, which in turn can lead to hearing loss.

Secondly, long-term exposure to high-noise environments, excessive use of headphones, lack of attention to hearing hygiene and other bad habits can also affect hearing and aggravate senile hearing loss.

Symptoms of senile hearing loss include hearing loss, blurred hearing, hard hearing**, etc., and in severe cases, walking vertically can lead to communication difficulties and reduced social activities, which can lead to mental health problems. Therefore, early hearing protection, hearing hygiene, and regular hearing check-ups can prevent and improve senile hearing loss.

Perhaps, after all, people will have a disability in one way when they are old.

Under normal circumstances, a person's hearing deteriorates, which means that they have reached a certain age. At this time, not only hearing, but also the function of various organs in the body will begin to deteriorate. If you are young and your hearing deteriorates because of something, then it will affect your ability to think, remember and execute.

The latter is basically caused by bad lifestyle habits or diseases, and it is not easy to involve other bodily functions. However, when our hearing deteriorates, our lives will be affected, and our ability to relate to hearing will definitely decrease. If you can't hear others clearly, it will become troublesome to do things, and your execution will naturally decline.

1. Hearing deterioration under normal conditions is a common condition for many elderly people. We can understand the body as a machine, which is not well maintained at ordinary times, and will rust after a long time. At this time, it is consistent, not only the hearing is deteriorating, but also the eyesight, thinking ability, and mobility will be affected.

Even the original function of the organs in the body will gradually deteriorate.

This thing is irretrievable, and we can only try to exercise ourselves. For example, do some number games to improve the brain's thinking ability; Exercise regularly to improve the body's immunity; Get enough sleep, slow down the rate of vision deterioration, etc. Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws that cannot be stopped by human beings.

2. There is another situation caused by bad habits or diseases, which is caused by bad habits or diseases. When I was in college, I had a roommate who was very fond of plucking his ears, maybe once a day. And I like to wear headphones very much, and the sound is very loud, and the sound of screaming is so small that I can't hear it at all.

After a long time, my hearing began to deteriorate, and many times I could not hear us clearly.

Because I can't hear others clearly, when I do things, my thinking becomes slow, and my ability to execute is also affected. I remember riding an electric car across the zebra crossing again, and the traffic police called him from behind, but he couldn't hear it. Fortunately, there was no investigation, just a verbal reminder to pay attention next time.

3. The influence of hearingHearing has a great impact on life, the most obvious is socialization. If we can't hear what others are saying clearly, it will definitely be an obstacle when communicating. And in some public places, you can't ask others to be particularly loud, and it will become troublesome at this time.

After a long time, your psychology will also change, and if you ask the other party to repeat it many times, you may be disliked, and you will have an inferiority complex in your heart. It can be said that hearing has a direct impact on all aspects of our lives. Therefore, we must protect our ears in life, and at the same time, we must have good living habits to avoid causing tinnitus and deafness to ourselves.

It should be that the language function will also deteriorate, because our hearing is one with our language, and if we can't hear the sound, we will gradually stop talking.

When our hearing deteriorates, our language skills deteriorate and our minds become less flexible. This can also cause our limbs to be uncoordinated. Therefore, we must take care of our hearing and other functions, so that we can also make ourselves healthier.

Hearing loss can be due to congenital causes or acquired causes.

1. Congenital causes.

1. If there is a malformation in the pinna of the patient's ear, it may affect the collection of sound waves, resulting in hearing loss.

2. If the patient has ear canal narrowing, ear canal atresia, etc., it may affect the conduction of sound, resulting in hearing loss.

2. Acquired reasons.

1. If the patient is disturbed by noise for a long time, it may cause noise-induced deafness, which will lead to hearing loss.

2. If the patient takes drugs with ototoxicity, such as gentamicin and other aminoglycoside antibiotics, it may cause drug-induced deafness, which may lead to hearing loss.

3. If the patient is older, the hearing of both ears may be symmetrical and progressively decreased, which is caused by organ aging and will worsen year by year.

4. If you suffer from sudden deafness of unknown cause, it will also cause hearing loss.

5. If you suffer from otitis media, middle ear cholesteatoma, otitis externa and other diseases, it may affect the conduction of sound, resulting in hearing loss.
