What can be done about deafness? How can deafness be treated?

It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination, if it is sudden deafness, there is hope in time, if there is no good way after the hospital, you can also consider wearing hearing aids to improve.

Deafness can be taken in the following ways:

1. Drug ** method.

According to the doctor's advice, use the right medications, vasodilators can make the blood circulation in the ears faster, can make the blood viscosity less, and if necessary, you can also use some steroid drugs, so that the effect of ** can be more obvious.

2. Cochlear implantation method.

If the patient is young, deafness in both ears and does not have any lesions. If the hearing aid does not improve well, then the internal structure of the ear should be checked to see if it is normal before cochlear implantation.

3. Use hearing aids.

In cases of deafness, hearing aids may be used to amplify outside sounds into the ears so that people can hear sounds. If the deafness in both ears is more severe, or the deafness in both ears is not the same, and the difference is relatively large, then only the hearing aid needs to be put on the ear with poor hearing.

4. Auditory language training.

After the problem of deafness, it is also important to carry out hearing training and language training, so that you can slowly speak clearly, the pronunciation must be clear, and you must have enough patience with the patient, so that the pronunciation can be more accurate.

I think it's better to go to the hospital and listen to what the doctor has to say, rather than using my own way.

1. It has a stereo effect, which is conducive to the direction of the sound source.

The human ear has a strong ability to localize sound sources. However, it prerequisites that both ears must have an equal hearing threshold. If there is hearing loss and the threshold is asymmetrical, most of the sound will be heard by the side with the better hearing threshold, no matter what direction it comes from, so that the direction of the sound source cannot be determined.

Therefore, binaural options can better improve the localization of sound sources.

2. There is a noise suppression effect.

In a noisy environment, binaural hearing aids have better hearing ability and higher speech recognition rate than single-ear hearing aids. The pinna of the human ear has the function of sound collection and noise reduction. It is very important for a patient with hearing impairment to improve the signal-to-noise ratio.

Wearing both ears means that both ears have the ability to collect sound and reduce noise, which is of great significance for improving speech discrimination.

3. There is a psychoacoustic effect.

At the same volume, it feels louder to wear hearing aids in both ears than to wear hearing aids in one ear. The loudness of sound received by binaural hearing is somewhat higher than that of a single ear, which is about 3 dB better than the single ear threshold at the threshold level. At the suprathreshold level, the binaural threshold is about 10 dB better than the single-ear threshold.

As a result, wearing hearing aids in both ears can slightly reduce the overall gain of each hearing aid, reducing the potential for acoustic feedback and increasing battery life. At the same time, for patients with severe deafness, the probability of hearing aids entering a saturated state is reduced, which is more helpful to improve speech intelligibility after hearing aids.

1) Conductive deafness: Common cerumen blocking the ear canal, otitis media, otosclerosis, ossicular chain interruption, etc., so that the sound cannot be transmitted effectively.

Damaged area: outer or middle ear.

**Method: General symptoms can be reduced by medication or surgery**, otherwise hearing aids can be used, and the effect is mostly good.

2) Sensorineural deafness: Common**Excessive noise, hereditary deafness, natural aging, taking ototoxic drugs, acoustic neuroma and sequelae of radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, etc., so that the information cannot be transmitted to the brain completely accurately. Therefore, patients with sensorineural hearing loss often have the following manifestations.

Reduced speech resolution: Listeners cannot hear certain speech and often cannot understand what other people are saying.

Reduced hearing range: People who are deaf cannot hear smaller sounds, but because the volume they perceive increases so rapidly that their maximum comfortable volume is quite different from that of people with normal hearing.

Reduced temporal processing: When loud and small sounds appear over a short period of time, deaf people are more likely to perceive small sounds than normal people, and they have difficulty understanding rapid or noisy speech because of the mixture of loud and small voices in the language.

Reduced audio selection: Good core frequency selection can help listeners distinguish speech and filter noise in a noisy environment, while deaf people generally have poor audio selection ability, so it is difficult for them to talk and understand what is being said in the noise.

Damaged site: inner ear or cochlear nerve.

**Method: If there is a problem with the nervous system, you should seek medical attention immediately; If you are still deaf or have damage to your inner ear, you should wear hearing aids, and in severe cases, you can consider an electronic cochlear implant.

3) Mixed deafness: ** Caused by a combination of conductive and sensorineural deafness or congenital maldevelopment of the outer ear, middle ear, inner ear and auditory system.

Damaged area: inner ear or auditory nerve plus outer or middle ear.

Method: Medication and wearing a good quality hearing aid. Short-term conductive hearing loss usually does not have long-term effects on hearing after treatment, but damage to the inner ear is permanent, and the auditory system's ability to process sound is impaired.

There are many causes of deafness, which can often be improved by several methods, such as environmental improvements, medications**, hearing aids, and surgery.

Active**, pay attention to rest every day.

**The principle is early detection, early diagnosis, and early **, strive to restore or partially restore the lost hearing, try to preserve and use the residual hearing, carry out auditory language training in a timely manner, and appropriately use hearing aids or artificial hearing.

1. Emergency**.

Sudden hearing loss is a sudden-onset sensorineural hearing loss, abbreviated as violent or sudden hearing loss, usually within minutes, hours, or three days, and can be accompanied by tinnitus or vertigo. The patient may be given the following**:

1. Systemic drugs**, such as oral and injectable drugs such as antibiotics, glucocorticoids, neurotrophic drugs, vasodilators, etc.

2. Topical drugs**, such as ear drops, nasal drops, intra-ear injection drugs, etc.

3. Some diseases can be surged**, such as otitis media surgery, cochlear implant surgery, etc.

4. Oxygen therapy, such as oxygen inhalation and hyperbaric oxygen chamber.

5. Physics, such as microwave, ultra-short wave, etc.

6. Wear hearing aids. Generally, the doctor will take a comprehensive approach according to the condition**.
