How to protect residual hearing?

Residual hearing is a precious and non-renewable hearing resource for every hearing-impaired person, so protecting residual hearing should be an important matter for the hearing-impaired, so how can we protect residual hearing? Here are a few ways to protect residual hearing:

1. Choose suitable hearing aids

There are many types of hearing aids, with different powers and different shapes; According to technology, there are analog hearing aids and digital hearing aids. And there are also big differences in function, so what kind of hearing aid is suitable for us when we choose? At this time, we will recommend that when choosing hearing aids, you should go to the hospital or professional store for examination first, and then the fitter will make a reasonable recommendation and professional fitting to choose a suitable hearing aid for you.

How to protect residual hearing?

Hearing aid options come with several elements:

  • The type of hearing loss of the patient
  • The degree of hearing loss
  • Hearing curve characteristics
  • The age of the hearing impaired patient, the time of deafness, whether he is deaf in one or both ears, and whether he has worn hearing aids before.

2. Seek medical attention in time

If you find that you have hearing loss, you should seek medical attention in time to achieve early detection, early intervention, and early treatment. Avoid irreversible damage.

3. Pay attention to the listening environment

Reduce noise interference and try to stay away from loud noise environments. Noise can damage the hearing hair cells of the inner ear, resulting in persistent hearing loss, noise intensity is the main factor causing hearing loss, the greater the exposure noise intensity, the earlier the hearing loss appears, the more serious the damage. The longer the exposure to noise with an intensity of more than 85dB, the greater the risk of permanent threshold shift in hearing. When you must use noisy tools, wear noise-cancelling earplugs.

4. Pay attention to living habits

a, avoid frequent ear picking, do not go to ear picking

Avoid the bad habit of pulling out your ears. The presence of cerumen in the human ear canal is a normal physiological phenomenon, which is formed by the normal secretion of the skin of the ear canal combined with dander. Generally, a small amount of shaving-like cerumen will be naturally discharged with the vibration and jaw movement during exercise, and do not need special cleaning.

b. Do a good job of nasal health care

Timely treatment of acute upper respiratory tract infections, chronic rhinitis, sinusitis and other diseases, pay attention to maintaining the patient's oral, nasal cavity and pharyngeal hygiene. Acute upper respiratory tract infections in children must be treated promptly and thoroughly. Train the correct nose blowing method. Do not pinch the left and right nostrils at the same time and then blow them, so as not to drive the secretions in the nasal cavity into the middle ear cavity and cause otitis media, especially after an upper respiratory tract infection.

c. Exercise actively

Strengthen nutrition, enhance physical fitness, control emotions, maintain a good state of mind and get enough sleep.
