Fortune-telling is deaf _ Look at your ears and tell your fortune

Deafness is a symptom we often encounter in clinic. As doctors, we don't know all the people in the society exactly the same. The doctor's standard term is hearing loss or hearing loss, but it is commonly known as deafness.

First of all, as long as your hearing is lower than normal, we are all called deaf, but there is a misunderstanding in daily life. For example, my hearing has dropped significantly, but I am not deaf. He thinks that hearing loss is called deafness, but this is not a concept, that is, as long as your hearing is lower than normal, it is called deafness, and if your hearing is lower than normal, it is called severe neurological deafness, so we want to make this clear.

First, deafness is a symptom, and there are many reasons for deafness, because deafness is purely conductive, nervous or sensorineural, and mixed. It often indicates different diseases, such as conductive deafness, which may be otitis media, neurological deafness, such as drug deafness or now that we have entered an aging society, deafness in the elderly is very common and belongs to senile deafness. Once we are deaf, I hope everyone will pay attention to it. Because in our impression, everyone's hearing is not as good as their eyesight from beginning to end. If your eyesight drops, you will be very anxious. Go to the ophthalmology department immediately. How to treat them with glasses? But if they don't pay so much attention to deafness, they often feel that deafness has less serious impact on life and work anyway.

Secondly, if one side is deaf and the other side is normal, people may not pay much attention to it until it is serious, but according to our clinical experience, we think people should pay attention to deafness. Once hearing loss occurs, you should go to the hospital in time. How to judge it is when communicating with people in daily work and life, if you often interrupt or someone says it's on your left, you want to turn right. It must mean that you have hearing loss. At this time, in fact, you can't judge what causes the hearing loss and whether the consequences are serious, so go to the hospital as soon as possible.

We now have otolaryngology departments in major hospitals. Accurately speaking, hearing loss belongs to otology tube. Our outpatient doctor will give you a general examination to see if there is anything wrong with your external auditory canal and tympanic membrane.

In addition, we have many functional tests, such as our pure tone audiometry and our auditory response. In this way, we can know first whether you are deaf, second what kind of deafness you are, second the degree of your deafness, and fourth what reasons you may have.

So only in this way can you pass the hospital examination. If it's really nothing serious, don't worry. Don't think that deafness doesn't matter, because some patients are deaf because of tumors, and you may not be able to make a diagnosis in time, which will delay his treatment.

Therefore, we should pay enough attention to the common symptom of deafness, that is, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment. This effect should be the best.
