What to do if your ears don't work well

Sight, hearing, smell, and touch are the basic senses of the human body and none of them can be missing. In our lives, we may lose certain senses due to various reasons. For example, some elderly people or people living in a noisy environment for a long time, improper use of medication, etc. may affect a person's hearing. Poor hearing, commonly known as poor hearing, so how can we prevent this situation in our daily life? What should you do if you already have hearing loss?

1. Noise prevention in daily life

If you are exposed to various noises such as the roar of machines, the hustle and bustle of workshops, and the noise of people for a long time, the tiny blood vessels in the inner ear will often be in spasm, the blood supply to the inner ear will be reduced, and your hearing will deteriorate sharply. Therefore, avoiding or reducing noise interference as much as possible is the first priority in protecting hearing.

2. Maintain a good mental state

If you are often in a state of anxiety and anger, the autonomic nervous system in your body will lose its normal regulatory function, causing ischemia, edema and hearing impairment in the inner ear organs, which can easily lead to a sharp loss of hearing. Therefore, try to keep yourself relaxed and happy.

3. Massage

Massaging the Chufeng point (in the depression between the earlobe and the high bone behind the ear) and the Tinghui point (in the depression behind the mandibular joint process, below and in front of the tragus) in front of and behind the earlobe can increase blood circulation in the inner ear and protect hearing. It is advisable to massage once in the morning and evening every day, each time for 5-10 minutes, and you will see results if you persist for a long time. Recommended: Very effective ear exercises.

4. Pay attention to medication

The use of ototoxic drugs such as gentamicin, streptomycin, kanamycin, neomycin, etc. should be avoided as much as possible, as these drugs can easily cause ototoxicity and damage hearing. Patients with sensorineural hearing loss should pay more attention!

5. It is best not to pick your ears

Frequent use of ear spoons or matchsticks to pick your ears can easily injure the ear canal, cause infection, inflammation, and even damage the eardrum. When the ear canal is extremely itchy, you can use a cotton swab dipped in a little alcohol or glycerin to gently wipe the ear canal. You can also take vitamins B, C and cod liver oil orally.

6. Health care is to nourish the kidneys

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney opens up to the ear, and hearing loss is closely related to kidney deficiency. Therefore, you can eat more kidney-nourishing foods, such as walnut porridge, sesame porridge, peanut porridge, pig kidney porridge, etc. These foods are very beneficial for protecting hearing.

7. Don’t use headphones for too long

If you often use mp3, mp4 or mp5 to listen to music or watch videos with headphones, remember not to turn up the volume too high, and don't use it for a long time, because this will cause your hearing to deteriorate. If you want to use it for a long time, you can use no headphones.
