    Otitis media can cause hearing loss.

    Regardless of the type of otitis media, it can cause hearing loss. Hearing loss caused by secretory otitis media is mainly low-frequency, and hearing can be improved after the discharge of middle ear effusion, and hearing loss is accompanied by ear stuffiness, tinnitus, and earache.

    In the early stages of acute purulent otitis media, purulent discharge within the tympanic chamber can lead to hearing loss with earache and tinnitus. Pus drains after tympanic membrane perforation, and hearing loss and earache are reduced. Chronic purulent otitis media is due to the perforation of the eardrum, the early hearing loss is not obvious, or it is manifested as conductive deafness, and as the disease reverses, the inflammation leads to the destruction of the ossicles, and mixed hearing loss will occur.

    After the discovery of otitis media, it should be actively ** to control inflammation and promote drainage.

    Can hearing loss recover from otitis media?

    Generally, the hearing loss caused by otitis media due to the conduction principle can be recovered after passing the system norms, but the degree of hearing recovery is also different according to the type and mode of otitis media.

    Hearing loss due to secretory otitis media and acute purulent otitis media is often due to conductive factors. Symptoms of hearing loss occur due to the presence of more pus or exudate in the middle ear cavity, which affects the sound conduction function of the eardrum and ossicular chain. Middle ear ventilation can be improved with topical ear drops and systemic antimicrobials to promote the elimination and absorption of inflammatory substances.

    In general, hearing can be restored gradually. For those who are ineffective with drugs, myringotomy or catheterization can be performed to drain the middle ear, and the hearing can basically be restored quickly. For hearing loss caused by chronic purulent otitis media, mainly caused by tympanic membrane perforation or ossicular chain fixation, if you want to restore better hearing, you need to undergo surgery**, repair the perforated tympanic membrane, and do a good job of reconstructing the ossicular chain can achieve satisfactory results.

    Cholesteatoma otitis media is seriously damaged and requires mastoid surgery, and it is difficult to recover from hearing loss after surgery, but hearing loss will continue to decline if surgery is not done, so when suffering from otitis media, it is necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible for standardized treatment to avoid hearing loss.

    After the occurrence of purulent otitis media, if the disease is not controlled in time, it will lead to a decline in hearing function.

    Most of the above diseases will show symptoms such as cold intolerance, high fever, poor mental state, ear pain, and aggravated sneezing pain. As the disease progresses, symptoms such as pus coming out of the ears, not wanting to eat, weakness, and hearing loss may occur. Happy life, fish!

    Ear pus will affect hearing in most cases, the most common cause of ear pus is otitis media, acute otitis media patients have ear pain, ear stuffiness and tinnitus, hearing loss, a few days later the ear begins to flow pus, a small number of patients will also be accompanied by fever, in this case, first of all, antibiotics should be given orally, like cephalosporin azithromycin or at the same time with antibiotic ear drops for ear drops, if there is more purulent discharge in the external auditory canal, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time to clean up the purulent discharge of the external auditory canal, After the ear drops, generally in a week to ten days or so, the patient's otitis media, after being completely controlled, the hearing can be fully recovered, these patients are chronic otitis media, after the drug ** is not good can also be used surgery**, a small number of patients are due to the inflammation of the external auditory canal caused by pus, this situation will also affect hearing in most cases, but in a few cases the hearing impact is not obvious. Therefore, when there is pus in the ear, regardless of whether the hearing is affected, it is necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible, mainly because it is caused by infection. It is necessary to carry out anti-infection as soon as possible to avoid the formation of serious infections that lead to hearing loss, and even affect the balance function and the function of the facial nerve.

    Chronic otitis media causes hearing loss, which can vary in degree of conductive or mixed hearing loss. The reasons may be:

    1. Perforation of the tympanic membrane, for perforation of the tympanic membrane, a small perforation in the anterior and lower part of the tension will generally not cause significant hearing loss, while a large perforation in the upper back can lead to severe hearing loss.

    Second, the ossicular chain is hardened and fixed, that is, the articular surface between the ossicular bones is in a hardened and fixed state, so it cannot play the role of transmitting sound, so it leads to hearing loss.

    3. Middle ear cholesteatoma, due to the progressive destruction of the hearing structure of the middle ear and the adjacent skull, caused by cholesteatoma otitis media, causing hearing loss.

    4. Infiltration and invasion of ototoxic substances, inflammatory factors or bacterial endotoxins and other toxic substances penetrate into the inner ear through the round window membrane or other bone sutures, affecting the function of auditory receptor hair cells and causing sensorineural hearing loss.

    In severe cases, it can cause intracranial and extracranial complications. ** Acute purulent otitis media is not timely or improperly administered, the body resistance is poor, and the virulence of pathogenic bacteria is too strong, which is the main reason for the prolongation of acute otitis media to be chronic.

    Otitis media is a condition that causes hearing loss, and the middle ear is composed of four parts: the tympanic chamber, the eustachian tube, the tympanic sinus, and the mastoid process. These components are an important part of human hearing, regardless of which part of the problem affects hearing. Chronic suppurative otitis media, for example, presents with perforation of the eardrum and, in the absence of inflammation, no abnormal sensation.

    If you do a hearing test, you will find that the ear with chronic suppurative otitis media will lose at least 10 to 20 decibels of hearing.

    Some otitis media can lead to hearing loss, especially if otitis media is not timely**, the inflammation is severe or causes some complications, which has a greater impact on hearing. For example, when inflammation affects the eardrum and causes severe inflammation of the eardrum, it can directly affect hearing. Because inflammation can perforate the eardrum, there can be pus in the ear and hearing loss.

    When inflammation affects the ossicles, erosion can cause the ossicular chain to be broken and the pressurization and amplification of the middle ear to disappear completely, which can also lead to hearing loss.

    Of course, different types of otitis media have different effects on hearing. If it is only simple suppurative otitis media, the hearing loss is usually conductive hearing impairment, and the condition is mild. In the case of osteo-ulcerative otitis media, due to the wide range of tissues destroyed by inflammation and the perforation of the tympanic membrane, it can lead to granulation tissue hyperplasia and bone destruction of varying degrees, so there will be more severe conductive hearing loss.

    There is also cholesteatoma otitis media, because it is an inflammatory lesion that destroys bones, which not only causes a special smell of pus, but also has severe hearing loss, which can cause conductive hearing loss in the early stage and mixed hearing loss in the late stage.

    It can be seen that otitis media may lead to hearing loss, and even severe hearing loss and deafness. Therefore, once the symptoms of otitis media appear, it is recommended that patients must pay attention to it, see a doctor for examination in time, and then carry out ** under the guidance of a doctor, so as to better control inflammation and avoid otitis media aggravation or cause some complications, thus causing greater harm.

    Yes. If otitis media is reversed, it is likely to develop into deafness, and the consequences are very serious

    First, hearing begins to deteriorate, and experts say that if only one ear is affected, it may go undetected for a long time.

    Second, tinnitus, the ears begin to buzz, crackling, running water, etc. In severe cases, the patient may be disturbed, causing the patient to be unable to sleep for a long time. Thirdly, there is pain in the ear, acute patients with otitis media will have persistent dull otalgia or sometimes throbbing pain, and chronic otitis media patients have no obvious ear pain.

    Experts reminded that acute otitis media may turn into chronic otitis media if you don't pay attention to it, chronic otitis media is very dangerous, chronic otitis media can lead to facial paralysis, meningitis, extrameningeal abscess and brain abscess and other symptoms, no matter which situation occurs, there will be life-threatening risks.

    Otitis media may cause hearing loss, which is mainly due to the perforation of the tympanic membrane and the weakening of the activity of the auditory bone, resulting in continuous interruption of the ossicular bone, and also leading to hearing loss in the middle ear cavity, and also causing the spread of middle ear inflammation to the inner ear, which can cause sensorineural hearing loss, suggesting that patients must be detected early and early ** to avoid delaying the condition. Keep a quiet space away from noisy environments.
