How to improve your hearing

The ear is an organ that does not attract much attention from the human body, but it is indispensable in people's daily life and plays a very important role. Many people want to improve their hearing, but there is no specific good way. In fact, the best way to improve hearing is to protect your ears, do not let water enter your ears, and do not clean your ears frequently to reduce stimulation to the inside of the ears. This article also introduces several ways to protect your hearing. Let’s take a look.

To improve your hearing, start with protecting your hearing. Paying attention to the following points will be very helpful in protecting your hearing.

1. Avoid all kinds of noise. Being in a noisy environment for a long time can easily lead to hearing loss. If you create a quieter working, learning and living environment, you can reduce the adverse effects of noise on hearing.

2. Avoid excessive emotional fluctuations. Excessive emotional fluctuations can cause spasms and contractions of capillaries throughout the body, resulting in a severe slowing of blood flow in the inner ear's auditory vessels and microcirculation disorders, thereby causing hypoxia of the inner ear auditory nerve and leading to sudden deafness.

3. Avoid picking your ears. Do not use unclean small wooden sticks, hairpins, etc. to pick your ears to relieve itching, so as to avoid damaging the eardrum deep in the ear canal, causing traumatic eardrum perforation and suppurative otitis media, and other lesions, resulting in varying degrees of hearing loss.

4. Avoid using ototoxic drugs. Such as streptomycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, neomycin, quinine and their derivatives, so as to avoid drug-induced deafness. These drugs should be banned for infants and young children.

5. Avoid the influence of high air pressure around the ears. When participating in sports such as swimming and diving, be careful not to let your ears touch the water surface first; when encountering firecrackers, you should stay 3 meters away from the scene or cover your ears with your hands; you cannot hit people's ears with your palms, etc. All of these are designed to protect the eardrum from traumatic deafness caused by the stimulation of air pressure.

6. Eat less high-fat foods. Excessively high cholesterol levels in the blood can cause atherosclerosis of the blood vessel walls. Vascular sclerosis reduces the blood supply to the inner ear and causes malnutrition of the auditory organs, leading to hearing loss or deafness.

7. Actively treat colds. Because colds can affect the ventilation of the Eustachian tube (the tube from the pharynx to the middle ear cavity). In addition, if you blow your nose with improper force, the germs in the mucus may accidentally enter the middle ear cavity, which can easily cause purulent infection in the middle ear and affect hearing.

8. Avoid using your Walkman for long periods of time. High-volume audio sounds cause fatigue and damage to the auditory organs, leading to hearing loss and even deafness.
