    If middle-aged and elderly friends feel that their hearing is declining, they should go to a regular hospital in time, and the doctor will give you a series of examinations, including looking at the external auditory canal and tympanic membrane for lesions, and giving pure tone audiometry, acoustic impedance, speech audiometry or auditory brainstem evoked potential audiometry, otoacoustic emission and other examinations. This will not only help you understand the condition of hearing loss, but also help you understand the cause of hearing loss. If it is purulent otitis media, secretory otitis media, mycosis of the external auditory canal, sudden deafness, cerumen obstruction, etc., it can be obtained in a timely and effective manner to improve hearing.

    Occasionally, early malignancies, such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma, can be unexpectedly detected. Once presbycusis is diagnosed, or sensorineural hearing loss for a long time, and the hearing curve shows that the hearing has dropped to more than 40 decibels, then hearing aids can be considered. Because of this kind of deafness, the use of drugs, physiotherapy, acupuncture, etc., the effect is not obvious and inaccurate.

    Of course, if the deafness is conductive deafness or mixed deafness, hearing aids can also be selected as appropriate, but the primary disease must be dealt with first.

    Current medical conditions still don't provide a good solution for age-related hearing loss. Only devices or drugs can be used to delay the onset of senile complex deafness. There are several ways to treat presbycusis.

    Drugs**: There are many types of presbycusis, so there is no drug for presbycusis, which generally depends on the symptoms of different patients. In general, drugs that can dilate blood vessels in the inner ear are used to reduce the viscosity of blood in the body, dissolve small blood clots in the blood, and promote blood circulation.

    Some people will also be given antibacterial and antiviral drugs or steroid hormone medications.

    Hearing aids: Hearing aids for the elderly are currently the hearing aids chosen by many elderly deaf people, and hearing aids are used for patients who are ineffective with general medications. The main purpose of hearing aids is to increase the volume so that otherwise inaudible sounds can be heard smoothly through the hearing aids.

    However, hearing aids need to be adjusted and adapted for a long time before they can achieve satisfactory results.

    Cochlear implants: Also known as electronic cochlear implants or cochlear implants, users are mostly young people who are deaf. Cochlear implants are generally not recommended for the elderly, but medications** or hearing aids are preferred.
