Why is hearing loss more likely to occur in winter?

As the weather gets colder and colder, the blood supply function of capillaries in human inner ear is directly affected by the environment, and once spasm occurs, hearing loss will occur. People without ear diseases may also suffer from hearing loss due to cold, stress, overwork and emotional excitement. To prevent hearing loss in winter, we must first enhance immunity and prevent viral infections such as colds. In addition, we should take the following preventive measures:

First, relax moderately to prevent overwork. Near the end of the year, many people become busy. Overworked work and study will inevitably lead to poor health. In order to reduce the risk of sudden hearing loss caused by long-term stress, it is necessary to consciously adjust the pace of life, slow down the pace of life and relax the nervous nerves. When the mood is comfortable, the immune function of the body will also be improved, thus preventing the "external force" from attacking our hearing.

Second, stabilize your mood and don't be ecstatic and furious. Some friends are prone to mood swings when they get old, especially the elderly who live alone. They must try their best to adjust their emotions. Excessive emotional fluctuation will lead to the loss of normal regulatory function of autonomic nerves in the body, making the inner ear organs more prone to ischemia, edema and auditory neurotrophic disorders, and hearing loss.

Third, keep warm from the cold and pay attention to temperature changes. The sudden drop of temperature will make the blood vessels spasm from thick to thin, make the inner ear capillary blood supply insufficient, and cause sudden hearing loss. When traveling in cold weather, wear good clothes and don't catch cold.

Fourth, don't blow hard, sniffle hard, sniffle this sudden pressure will make purulent secretions and bacteria in the nasal cavity instantly impact the middle ear cavity, which is easy to infect and cause otitis media, and even lead to perforation and pus in the tympanic membrane, resulting in severe hearing loss. People with rhinitis and runny nose should pay special attention. It is best to blow your nose one by one in the left and right nasal cavity, and don't use too much force.

Be careful when you are sick. When you are old, many friends have basic diseases, especially chronic diseases. It is inevitable to take medicine frequently, but we should take medicine strictly according to the doctor's advice to avoid drug-induced deafness. Such as antibiotics such as streptomycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, etc. If the time is too long, it may cause hearing loss due to alternate drug reactions with other drugs.
