Hearing loss in the ears of the elderly may be due to physiological hearing loss, excessive earwax, otitis media, insufficient cerebral blood supply, etc., which need to be treated symptomatically.
1. Physiological hearing loss: Hearing loss can be caused by ageing, physiological decline of hearing organs, or long-term psychological stress and emotional tension, etc. It can be improved by resting properly, ensuring sleep and wearing hearing aids.
2. Excessive earwax: Elderly patients do not clean the external ear canal for a long time, resulting in cerumen, ectopic cerumen, etc. blocking the external ear canal and hearing loss. It can be improved by clearing cerumen and other foreign bodies from the external ear canal.
3. Otitis media: Infection by bacteria and other pathogens leads to inflammation of the middle ear, resulting in inflammatory exudation, bleeding and other lesions, which leads to dysfunction of the cochlea and other hearing-related tissues, and thus hearing loss. Levofloxacin, erythromycin, cefuroxime and other medications can be applied.
4. Insufficient blood supply to the brain: hyperlipidemia, carotid atherosclerosis and other lesions lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain and reduced blood supply to the vestibular cochlea, resulting in hearing loss. You can take simvastatin, aspirin, clopidogrel and other drugs.
Pay attention to the standardization of medication and active treatment after the physician examination to clarify the cause of the disease.
