Wind in the ears of the elderly may be caused by trauma leading to perforation of the eardrum, or may be caused by diseases such as suppurative otitis media, as well as other diseases such as air pressure injuries.
1. Trauma: When the phenomenon of windy speech occurs in the elderly, it may be due to the rupture of the tympanic membrane caused by trauma to the ear, which leads to the phenomenon of windy speech in the ear.
2. Suppurative otitis media: Suppurative otitis media is mainly caused by bacterial infection, and patients will experience ear pain, ear leakage, hearing loss and other symptoms. When there is ear leakage, there will be perforation of the tympanic membrane, which leads to the phenomenon of wind coming out of the ears of the elderly people.
3. Others: Other diseases such as air pressure injury and nasal cancer can also lead to the symptoms of wind in the ears.
When the symptoms of wind in the ears occur, family members should bring the elderly to the hospital in time to clarify the cause of the disease and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
