Notes on sensorineural hearing loss

Sensorineural hearing loss can cause great trouble to our hearing. This disease is not easy to cure. Ears are very important to us, and if there is a problem with them, it will have a great impact on us. In daily life, pay attention to protecting your ears. Prevention in advance is very important for us. There are two possible types of sensorineural hearing loss. One is caused by nature, and the other is acquired. Generally speaking, it is difficult to treat if it is caused by congenital factors. Acquired factors are divided into normal factors and abnormal factors. Let’s talk about the precautions for sensorineural hearing loss.

Sensorineural hearing loss:

It refers to a disease in which the auditory nerve in the inner ear and the auditory center of the brain are lesions, causing hearing loss or even hearing loss, often accompanied by tinnitus. When it comes to sensorineural hearing loss, it actually refers to "sensorineural hearing loss", which includes lesions of the cochlea, lesions of the auditory nerve, and even certain lesions of the auditory center. It does not simply refer to problems with the auditory nerve. Different types of sensorineural hearing loss have slightly different manifestations. The main manifestations are progressive hearing loss of varying degrees in one or both ears until deafness, accompanied by tinnitus and a feeling of stuffiness in the ears. About half of the patients also have symptoms of dizziness, nausea and vomiting.

Notes on sensorineural hearing loss:

The causes of sensorineural hearing loss are complex. While actively cooperating with treatment, patients should also pay attention to the following matters:

1) Have an optimistic and open-minded attitude towards life. If you have hearing loss, don't be overly nervous. While cooperating with the treatment, you can develop some interests to adjust your pace of life and distract yourself from the hearing loss.

2) Avoid staying in a high-decibel noise environment for a long time, but don’t be in an overly quiet environment, because most deafness is more obvious in a quiet environment. If the environment is so quiet that deafness is annoying, you can create some background noise at an appropriate volume to distract your attention, such as listening to music or watching TV.

3) Avoid or use ear medications with caution, smoke less, and drink less.

4) Maintain a regular lifestyle and remember to get enough sleep. Because there is a close relationship between insomnia and tinnitus, tinnitus can affect sleep, and lack of sleep will aggravate tinnitus, forming a vicious circle.

5) The causes of deafness are rather complex. The severity of the disease is closely related to the individual's mental state. It is generally stubborn and sometimes lasts for several years or even decades. Therefore, in the process of cooperating with the treatment, you must have perseverance, confidence, and be mentally prepared for long-term treatment.

Daily care:

If you pay more attention to your diet, you can also effectively prevent the occurrence of sensorineural hearing loss. Since the membranous labyrinth of patients with sensorineural hearing loss is mostly in a state of water accumulation, the physical and chemical properties of the endolymph are mostly high in sodium and low in potassium. Therefore, a diet with the characteristics of "two highs and two lows" should be selected, that is, a high-protein, high-vitamin, low-fat, and low-salt diet. For example, lean meat, fresh fish, live poultry, etc. can be stewed in soup frequently. You can also eat more fruits, leeks, carrots, celery and other high-vitamin vegetables and fruits.
