What are the causes of sudden deafness and vertigo?

  Sudden deafness, also known as sudden deafness, is a type of sensorineural deafness that occurs suddenly within a few hours for unknown reasons, and can be accompanied by tinnitus and vertigo, without any other cerebral neurological symptoms or signs other than the auditory nerve. The clinical outcome of sudden deafness with vertigo is found to be relatively poor.  The incidence of the disease has been increasing in recent years, and the number of young people suffering from sudden deafness is now significantly higher compared to the previous situation where sudden deafness was more frequent in middle-aged and elderly people. In general, patients tend to develop the disease in one ear, and bilateral sudden deafness is rare.  Nowadays, more and more white-collar layers feel that their hearing is declining. Especially those who like to enter KTV should try to shorten the time they spend in KTV while having fun.  On the other hand, if you use headphones continuously, you should control the volume, and it is better not to listen to songs continuously for more than an hour at a time, and then let your ears rest completely. Don’t wear headphones when you sleep, otherwise the damage to your ears will increase significantly if you accidentally fall asleep.  Vertigo is a kind of motion illusion caused by the disorder of the body’s spatial orientation and balance. It is divided into “true vertigo” and “pseudo vertigo”, and what we call vertigo is “true vertigo”. Among vertigo patients, 70% of vertigo attacks are related to the vestibular function of inner ear, and this kind of vertigo is called otogenic vertigo, typical diseases are Meniere’s syndrome (Meniere’s disease), benign positional vertigo, etc. Most of otogenic vertigo can be cured by medication, but some patients with otogenic vertigo are very serious, and even bedridden, unable to move and unable to take care of themselves.  So, what are the typical diseases of otogenic vertigo? Sudden deafness, Meniere’s syndrome, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, and labyrinthitis may be a few typical diseases of otogenic vertigo.  We suggest that in daily life, when experiencing vertigo, you should first stay calm and relaxed; when the attack is severe and you cannot walk, you should first rest in bed, avoid sound and light stimulation, go to hospital immediately after the vertigo is relieved, and eat a light diet with less salt, avoid stimulating food and tobacco and alcohol.
