What are the main causes of hearing loss?

There are many causes of hearing loss, genetics, medications, tinnitus or some ear canal diseases, chronic diseases, and many more.

Infect. Common ones include myringitis, secretory otitis media, labyrinthitis, etc. Inflammation of the infected site can drain pus and block the external or inner auditory canal, resulting in decreased sound wave conduction.

Tumor. Common ones include middle ear cancer and tympanic body tumor. The enlarged part of the tumor can block the conduction of sound waves in the external or internal auditory canal.

Immunity. A common condition is autoimmune inner ear disease. The autoimmune cells attack the auditory nerve cells, causing hearing loss.

Meniere's disease. In Meniere's disease, fluid forms in the inner ear, causing intermittent episodes of deafness, vertigo, and tinnitus.

Otosclerosis. This is caused by the overgrowth of bone in the inner ear and is also the most common form of conductive hearing loss**.

Associated diseases. Secretory otitis media, myringitis, labyrinthitis, middle ear cancer, tympanic body tumor, autoimmune inner ear disease.

Non-disease ** element.

Drugs. Common drugs are gentamicin, streptomycin, kanamycin, and neomycin. Ototoxic drugs can cause the inner ear to malfunction, leading to hearing loss.

Foreign body. Cerumen plugging is common. Conduction of sound waves that block the external ear canal.

Trauma. Common ones include perforation of the eardrum, loud noises, sudden changes in pressure, and piercing the eardrum with an object that causes the tympanic membrane to perforate and affect hearing.

Senescence. Hearing loss is a normal manifestation of the aging process, and age-related deafness is called presbycusis, which is a neurological hearing loss that occurs as the hair cells of the inner ear sense grow older and die without new cells to replace them.

Noise. Neural hearing loss can occur due to damage to the hair cells that sense sound in the inner ear if exposed to noise for several years, and noise above 80 decibels is a potential cause of deafness, including rock clubs, sirens, drills, electronic drums, and lawn mowers.

Earwax. Earwax is a substance normally secreted by the outer ear, and the accumulation of too much earwax or the presence of earwax too deep into the ear canal can cause hearing loss.

Gene. There are several genes that make people congenitally deaf by affecting the development of the ear and affecting the function of sensory nerve hair cells.

Birth defects. Newborns can be affected by a variety of factors, such as pregnancy complications, intrauterine infections, and premature birth.

Pluck your ears casually. The external auditory canal is very thin, and improper force can easily cause damage and infection of the external auditory canal, which will lead to redness, swelling and inflammation of the external auditory canal, and may also injure the eardrum, resulting in perforation of the eardrum and hearing loss.

2.Abuse of ototoxic drugs. Some antipyretic analgesics, such as aspirin, and certain antibiotics such as gentamicin, streptomycin, etc., are more harmful to the ear, and abuse is easy to cause irreversible damage to the ear.

3.Long-term exposure to noise and strong sound can easily lead to tinnitus and hearing loss. The hair cells of the inner ear are exposed to these sound waves for a long time, making the ear extremely vulnerable to damage, causing irreversible hearing damage.

4.Unhealthy lifestyle habits. Tiredness, staying up late, nervousness, smoking, drinking, etc. have a great impact on the ears, especially the lack of sleep can easily make the blood vessels in a state of tension, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the inner ear, which has a strong lethal effect on hearing.

5.Unreasonable meals. Obesity, hyperlipidemia and other diseases cause hardening of the ear and cerebral blood vessels, poor blood flow, and hearing loss.

6.Negative mindset. When low or agitated, it will cause spasm of the arteries in the inner ear, and the blood flow in the small blood vessels will be slow, resulting in blood flow disorders, and the lack of oxygen supply to the inner ear is prone to sudden hearing loss.

1.Excessive ear cleaning is caused by damage to the eardrum.

2. Diseases of the five senses, such as otitis media, rhinitis, etc.

3. Caused by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as hypertension, etc.

4. Caused by excessive work pressure, such as excessive fatigue, poor rest, etc.

5. Caused by loud noise around work or life.

6. Adverse drug reactions.

1. It is a disease caused by conductive hearing loss, including a mass and foreign body in the external auditory canal, otitis media, and cholesteatoma in the middle ear can cause conductive hearing loss.

2. Sensorineural hearing loss, the main diseases caused are sudden deafness, noise deafness, drug-induced deafness and Meniere's disease.

3. Mixed hearing loss can be caused by malignant tumors, benign tumors and cholesteatoma of the middle ear, and mixed hearing loss can also be caused by acute otitis media or acute purulent otitis media.

When there is hearing loss, it is necessary to see a doctor in time, find out the cause, and proceed according to **.

There are many causes of acquired hearing loss, but the following are common:

Ear canal diseases: such as cerumen embolism (earwax blockage), frequent ear picking, trauma, ear canal diseases such as myringitis and otitis media that have not been treated well, etc.

Caused by other diseases: Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (such as high blood pressure) may also cause tinnitus and hearing loss.

Drug-induced: taking ototoxic drugs (such as gentamicin, chloramphenicol, aspirin, etc.) that cause hearing damage.

Noise-induced: Working in a noisy environment for a long time, or wearing headphones for a long time and turning on the volume is loud, will unconsciously damage your hearing.

Physical and mental fatigue: often staying up late, not resting well, and high work pressure can easily lead to inattention, tinnitus, and hearing loss, especially among office workers.

Excessive alcohol and smoking: Excessive alcohol and tobacco can have adverse effects on various organs and nerves in the body, including direct and indirect damage to the auditory nerve.

Age: Physical performance declines with age, and some people begin to lose their hearing after the age of 45.

Some hearing loss can be reversed, such as cerumen impaction. If you have been unable to hear clearly for a long time, you should go to the hospital or go to the Voice of the Sea store to test your hearing to see if there is really irreversible hearing loss, and take timely interventions.

There are many causes of hearing loss, usually conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, and mixed hearing loss. Causes conductive hearing loss, most commonly cerumen embolism, secretory otitis media, purulent otitis media, and tympanic membrane perforation. The cause of sensorineural hearing loss is unknown, but it is usually secondary to viral infections and bacterial infections.

Hearing loss requires an ENT clinic to check the pediatric endoscopy, audiometry, and acoustic impedance to initially assess what is causing it, and then go further**.

There are several influencing factors:

1.Congenital hearing loss, mostly genetic;

2.Caused by drug-induced injury;

3.Traumatic injury to the ear canal or head of the head;

4.Noise-driven environment (including knocking deafness);

5.senile physiological hearing loss;

6.Hearing loss due to infection;

7.Toxic factors.

Damage to the eardrum, diseases of the five senses, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, excessive work pressure, loud noise around work or life, adverse drug reactions, etc.

1. Diseases of the external auditory canal: the most common is cerumen embolism, which gathers into the external auditory canal and forms embolism, and the patient will experience ear fullness, tinnitus and hearing loss. Patients with acute otitis externa and fungal otitis externa can also experience ear tightness, tinnitus, and hearing loss.

In addition, tumors of the external auditory canal can also block the external auditory canal, leading to hearing loss;

2. Middle ear diseases: such as acute otitis media or acute secretory otitis media, can cause varying degrees of hearing loss. Chronic secretory otitis media and chronic suppurative otitis media, especially cholesteatoma otitis media, can cause hearing loss;

3. Inner ear diseases: most common in sudden deafness;

4. Acoustic neuroma: it is the most common tumor that causes hearing loss;

5. Others: such as senile deafness, drug deafness, noise deafness, etc., can lead to bilateral hearing loss in patients.

Therefore, when hearing loss occurs, it is necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible, and it is clear through ear endoscopy, hearing examination and imaging examination**, and start as soon as possible**.

In the opinion of many people, hearing loss only occurs in the elderly, and has nothing to do with young people. In fact, more and more people in life begin to experience hearing loss, which will have a great impact on the patient's life and cause other diseases in the long run. Therefore, it is important to understand the causes of hearing loss to help prevent it.

So what are the causes of hearing loss?

1. Genetic factors: Genetic factors are a common cause of hearing loss, if someone in the family has a history of ear disease, then their offspring will have a certain degree of influence.

2. Age factor: With the increase of age, various organs of the body also begin to decline. Atrophy of the auditory nerve may lead to a decrease in the ability to conduct sound, which can lead to hearing loss.

3. Excessive pressure: Excessive stress is also a common cause of hearing loss, and now many people are under great pressure due to work and life, irregular work and rest time, and the body is in a state of exhaustion for a long time, and it is easy for hearing loss to occur for a long time.

4. Wrong medication: adverse drug reactions may also cause hearing loss, now many people have a little problem, they will go to the pharmacy to buy drugs for **, if there is no medication under the doctor's consultation, and there is no correct way to take medicine, the drug may cause certain damage to hearing, thereby causing hearing loss.

5. Picking ears: Many people always like to pick their ears in life, if they do not master the correct method and strength in the process of picking their ears, it may cause certain damage to the eardrum, which will cause local inflammation of the ears, and over time will cause hearing loss.

6. Ear diseases: If patients have ear diseases, it may also cause hearing loss. The more common ones are: tinnitus, otitis media and deafness, etc., these diseases may cause great damage to hearing if not carried out in time**.

All in all, there are many reasons in life that can cause hearing loss. Hearing loss not only causes the normal life of the patient's friends, but also has the potential to affect communication with others. Therefore, if you find that you have symptoms of hearing loss, you must go to the hospital as soon as possible to find out the cause and carry out targeted treatment**, so as to get rid of the pain caused by hearing loss as soon as possible.

At the same time, you should pay attention to protect your ears in daily life.

There are many main causes of hearing loss, such as loud noise in your location, or sudden hearing loss, or mental stress, or mental stress.

There are many causes of hearing loss, which can be caused by ear diseases, nervous system diseases, systemic diseases, congenital diseases, adverse drug reactions and other factors.

There are many causes of hearing loss, it may be due to external factors such as long-term work, in a noisy environment, and on the other hand, it may also be due to pathological diseases.

Personally, I feel that if it is the cause of hearing loss, it should be that some of my vocabulary is not fully mastered, and it is not enough to practice normally.
