As the body ages, the organs of the body gradually produce degenerative changes, hearing will also decline. According to statistics, 30% of people aged 60 to 65 have reduced hearing, 50% of people aged 65 and above, and almost 100% of people aged 70 and above have reduced hearing, often accompanied by buzzing tinnitus. As long as the elderly people usually strengthen prevention and actively carry out dietary management, they can postpone and reduce the occurrence of tinnitus and deafness. The lack of iron in the human body is an important cause of tinnitus and deafness, therefore, attention should be paid to iron supplementation. It has been determined that people over the age of 50 must ensure that their daily supply of iron is not less than 12 to 15 mg. Iron-rich foods include nori (46.8 mg), shrimp skin (16.5 mg), jellyfish skin (17.6 mg), and black sesame, yellow cauliflower, black fungus, mullein, amaranth, etc. Soy products are also ideal foods for iron supplementation and are rich in various nutrients, most suitable for the elderly. Eat more zinc-rich foods Zinc plays a pivotal role in the prevention and treatment of age-related tinnitus and deafness. Tests have found that the zinc content in the blood and heart muscle of patients with hypertension and atherosclerosis is significantly reduced, and that elderly people with tinnitus and deafness have varying degrees of zinc deficiency. Foods that contain more zinc include oysters, animal liver, coarse grains, nuts, dried beans, meat, fish, etc. However, do not deliberately pursue it, as long as you do not have a partial diet, the body will automatically regulate it. Eat more foods containing vitamin C, D and E VC and VE can enhance oxide dismutase, enhance the body’s utilization of oxygen, improve peripheral blood circulation, and have a protective effect on the inner ear. Fresh vegetables and fruits contain more vitamin C, and black sesame, vegetable oil, walnuts and peanuts contain more vitamin E. As long as you pay attention to eating normally, you can meet your needs. Appropriate intake of VD-rich foods, such as animal liver, eggs, mushrooms and animal bones, can promote the body’s absorption and utilization of calcium. Medical doctors have found that people with senile deafness and tinnitus all have low blood calcium, which is greatly related to the lack of VD. Activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis You can also take some herbs that activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis regularly, which can dilate blood vessels, improve blood viscosity and speed up the normal microvascular circulation in the ear. Soak some drugs that activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as Chuanxiong, henbane, cow’s knee, angelica, astragalus, ocimum sanctum and salvia, in wine and drink 50-100 ml daily after half a month; you can also drink some red wine appropriately, but not in excess. Hypertension, coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis and diabetes can cause inner ear lesions and induce tinnitus and deafness in the elderly. Therefore, elderly people should eat less overly sweet, salty and greasy food, especially food with high cholesterol content. Paying attention to exercise, taking part in some light work properly and keeping cheerful and happy mood will keep you away from senile tinnitus and deafness.
