For the elderly with hyperlipidemia should actively treat hyperlipidemia, eat less high-fat, high-cholesterol food, which not only helps to prevent atherosclerosis, but also very beneficial to prevent senile deafness. There are many causes of deafness in the elderly, and in recent years experts have found that hyperlipidemia is also an important cause of deafness in the elderly. Why hyperlipidemia elderly prone to hearing loss? This is because hyperlipidemia can cause lipid deposition in the inner ear, lipid peroxide increases, directly leading to inner ear cell damage, blood vessel atrophy, thus causing senile deafness. In addition, hyperlipidemia blood viscosity increases, platelet aggregation increases, atherosclerosis is easy to occur, there is no collateral circulation in the inner ear arteries, blood flow is slow, blood supply is insufficient, which can cause microcirculatory perfusion disorders in the inner ear, which in turn affects the inner ear hearing. So for the elderly with hyperlipidemia should actively treat hyperlipidemia, eat less high fat, high cholesterol food, which not only helps to prevent atherosclerosis, but also to prevent senile deafness is also very beneficial. Walnuts, pine nuts, hazelnuts and other plant fats contain polyunsaturated fatty acids, which can lower blood cholesterol, so regular consumption can help prevent senile deafness, especially those with hyperlipidemia. Fish oil, especially certain marine organisms containing fat is also rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, not only can reduce blood cholesterol, but also can adjust the balance of prostaglandins and thromboxane A2, which can be anti-platelet aggregation. When hearing loss occurs in the elderly, do not always think that it is the natural law of aging, do not forget to test the blood lipids. For deafness caused by hyperlipidemia, after reasonable treatment, such as good control of blood lipids, can effectively delay hearing loss.
