It is reported that in 2024, the hospital will organize 120 series of free clinic activities and other actions to benefit the people in combination with the theme of the hospital's celebration work, and give back to the society by holding free clinics, organizing thousands of experts, and serving 10,000 people, so that the masses can enjoy high-quality medical services such as expert diagnosis and treatment in tertiary hospitals at their doorstep.
Such people should be wary of drug-induced deafness
At the event site, Yu Feng, the leader of the otolaryngology head and neck surgery department of Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital and an expert who enjoys the best allowance, introduced that hearing problems caused by age and drug influence are often irreversible, especially for some elderly patients, the help of science and technology is particularly important, and it is necessary to wear hearing aids or implant electronic cochlear implants to restore hearing.
Recently, there has been a high incidence of influenza, and the impact of improper use of drugs on hearing should not be underestimated.
Yu Feng reminded that the heat-clearing and disinfection and anti-inflammatory drugs taken by ordinary people when they have a cold, as well as some chronic diseases** and anti-tumor drugs have certain toxicity, and cancer patients, children and other groups must control the dosage and duration of taking drugs under the guidance of doctors, so as not to affect their hearing. "It is not recommended for children to use aminoglycoside antibiotics, and when using antipyretic and analgesic drugs, they should also strictly follow the requirements of the instructions to prevent drug-induced deafness. ”
Do these 7 points to protect your hearing
How can I protect my hearing health in my daily life? Yu Feng's moves are as follows:
1.Control the volume: When using headphones, be sure to keep in mind the "three 60s" principle, that is, the headphone volume should not exceed 60% of the maximum volume, use the headphones for no more than 60 minutes at a time, and try not to use headphones when the external environment is higher than 60 decibels.
2.Be aware of the environment: Prolonged exposure to noisy environments can cause sudden deafness, and if needed, earplugs or earmuffs can be worn to reduce noise damage to the ears.
3.Pay attention to ear hygiene: Do not clean the ear canal frequently and avoid inserting sharp objects into the ear to avoid damaging the eardrum.
4.Clean up the water in the ear canal: If the ear canal is moist all the time, it can lead to the growth of bacteria, causing otitis media. Therefore, try to avoid water in the ear canal when bathing or swimming, and if water accidentally enters the ear, it must be cleaned up in time.
5.Ear cleaning needs to be cautious: Insufficient disinfection of ear cleaning equipment may cause cross-infection and cause symptoms such as fungal otitis media.
6.Blow your nose properly. It's best to blow your nose on one side rather than both at the same time. Because there is a transportation hub between the nasal and ear canals called the Eustachian tube, it is responsible for balancing pressure inside and outside the ear and removing secretions from the ear. When you blow both noses at the same time, it may increase the pressure on the Eustachian tube to open, causing nasal discharge and bacteria to enter the ear canal through the Eustachian tube, increasing the risk of ear infections.
7.Regular check-ups: Regular hearing check-ups can detect and treat hearing problems early to prevent the disease from getting worse. Especially for those who have been in a noisy environment for a long time, it is recommended to have regular check-ups every year.
Do these 5 pointsStay away from noise-induced deafness
Noise-induced hearing loss is a cause of sensorineural hearing lossThe second largestThe main reason is that the incidence is second only to presbycusis, which is a completely preventable and irreversible disease. Yu Feng reminded that it can be prevented through the following measuresNoise-induced deafness.
Noise control**:This is the most active and fundamental way to reduce noise to within the national protection standard (85 90dB).
Reduce contact timeIf you go to the soundproof room to rest during work breaks, or reduce the daily and weekly exposure to noise, you can also reduce the morbidity, and you can also rotate the type of work according to the actual situation, and you can also reduce hearing damage.
Ear soundproofing: Wear earplugs, earmuffs, soundproof caps and other soundproof equipment, generally in the 80db noise environment for long-term work should be equipped with simple earplugs; When it is above 90db, protective tools must be used, and the simple ones can be plugged with cotton to the external auditory canal, and then apply petroleum jelly, and its sound insulation value can reach 30db.
Seek prompt medical attention: When you feel tinnitus or hearing loss, you should see a doctor in time, you can't ignore it, and you can detect it early.
Deafness: Ear nerve repair** is directly acting on the auricular acupuncture points and nerves, so that they are abnormally excited by the auditory system, causing stimulation to dredge the inner ear circulation, so as to quickly repair the damaged cochlear hair cell tissue, improve the blood microcirculation of the lesion, increase the blood oxygen supply, promote the regeneration of the cochlear hair cells, so that the damaged cochlear hair cell function can be repaired, thereby improving hearing and tinnitus.
