What can I do if I’m getting deaf?

Increasing deafness may be caused by ageing, and it is recommended to wear hearing aids; it may also be caused by congenital deafness, cholesteatoma and other diseases, which can be treated with medication and surgery.
1. Ageing: As the patient ages, the body’s functions are gradually declining, and the patient will become more and more deaf. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital, under the guidance of the doctor to conduct hearing tests and wear hearing aids, which can help patients to hear the sound.
2. Congenital deafness: For congenital factors cause more and more deafness, patients mainly take surgical treatment. Depending on the hearing loss, hearing aids or cochlear implants can be used under the guidance of a doctor.
3. Cholesteatoma: For deafness caused by cholesteatoma in the external ear canal or middle ear, patients can follow the doctor’s instructions to take surgical treatment, which can effectively prevent further hearing loss.
When the patient is getting deaf, it may also be caused by cerumen impaction, foreign bodies in the external ear canal, boils in the external ear canal, otitis externa, etc. The patient should consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
