Can noise aggravate otitis media?

Noise may aggravate otitis media and may lead to more pronounced hearing loss in patients with otitis media. Clinically, there are mainly the following reasons: First, in patients with otitis media, the tympanic chamber is directly exposed to the outside world after the eardrum is perforated. This can result in hearing loss in patients with otitis media. The second type of otitis media is caused by bacterial infection, and otitis media itself is not aggravated by noise, but the stimulation of noise affects the nerves in the middle ear drum and causes hearing loss, which is mostly sensorineural. Although noise does not cause significant aggravation of otitis media, long-term noise stimulation may make the symptoms of otitis media worse, and the stimulation of the noise environment is not conducive to the recovery of the patient’s disease and has a greater negative impact on the emotions, thus affecting the recovery of otitis media.
