Hearing "deteriorate"!

📢 Eh! What did you say? The "deteriorating hearing disorder" warning sign that you or a loved one may be unknowingly being! 👂🚨

Have you ever noticed? After a while, the TV has to turn on louder, talk to friends in a restaurant and listen to them, or have to tell others to "repeat" often...Be careful! This may not just be a nuisance, but it may be an early sign of "recessive hearing disorder" (Hearing Loss).

Today, let's go deeper and understand our bodies, how this condition occurs, what it affects, and how we can deal with it!

🧠 Principle: Why do our ears hear worse?

Our hearing relies on thousands of tiny hair Cells in the inner ear that pick up sound waves and send signals to the brain, but over time, or some behavior that attacks these cells will cause hair cells to deteriorate or die, which hair cells, when dead, cannot be rebuilt!

The main reason is often

Rising age: Decline with age (often seen in people aged 60 and over)

Noise pollution: Putting headphones on loudly for a long time, or working in a machine noisy place.

Heredity and congenital diseases: e.g., diabetes, hypertension, that affect the blood vessels that feed the ear.

⚠️ Quick check! Initial symptoms you shouldn't overlook.

Felt that others were mumbling or blurred.

It is more difficult to listen to high-frequency consonants (e.g., Sat, Sat, Sh, F).

"Tinnitus" or hearing a twinkle in the ear.

There are problems listening to noise places, such as restaurants, shopping malls.

Must speed up the sound of TV or phone until people around

🌪 Impact: More than just not hearing

Many people think that hearing is just inaudible, but in truth, the impact is deeper than it seems.

1.Social and psychological effects: Make a lack of confidence, do not want to socialize, feel isolated, and may lead to "depression."

2.Accident risk: The horn, alarm, or the sound of the approaching car is not heard.

3. Effects on the brain: Research has shown that reduced hearing is directly linked to an increase in the risk of "dementia" because the vocal cords lack activation and require a lot of energy to try to interpret inaudible sounds.

🛡️ Solution and prevention methods

Although the hair cells in the ear cannot regenerate, we can slow the degeneration and solve the problem!

Adjust the "60 / 60 rule" behavior: If you like to wear headphones, turn on no more than 60% of the maximum volume and listen for no more than 60 minutes continuously, then rest your ears.

Use protective equipment: If it is to be in a noisy place (e.g. concert, construction zone), earplugs (Earplugs) should be inserted.

Audiometry: People aged 50 and over or at risk are recommended to check their hearing level with a medical specialty (ear, neck, nose).

Hearing Aids: If hearing is degraded, the insertion of new technology (now small and Bluetooth-connected) hearing aids will restore 100% quality of life and confidence.
