Children's hearing problems are closely related to physical health, and there are many factors that affect children's hearing.
Among them, genetic factors and environmental factors are the two major reasons affecting children's hearing, and environmental factors are the most influential and harmful reasons. So, how to protect children's hearing in daily life?
Develop good lifestyle habits
Maintain ear hygiene and develop the habit of bathing, washing hair and changing clothes frequently.
Once the ear is watered, it should be dried in time, and it can be gently wiped off with a disinfectant cotton swab. If there is significant pain after water in the ear, it should be dried with a cotton swab in time.
Often wearing headphones to listen to music, watch TV, play games, etc., will make the ear in a state of sound stimulation for a long time, and the blood vessels in the ear are easy to spasm and atrophy, resulting in hearing loss.
Keep away from noise and pay attention to hearing protection
Hearing loss is divided into two categories: noise-induced deafness and hereditary deafness.
Among them, noise-induced hearing loss and drug-induced hearing loss are common. Noisy hearing loss is mainly caused by industrial noise, which accounts for more than half of the hearing loss population.
Usually people stay in a noisy environment for a long time, they will have tinnitus, ear fullness and other symptoms, and for a long time, it will also cause hearing loss.
Nowadays, with the popularity of electronic products, noise problems are becoming more and more concerned, and even many people neglect their ear health.
In addition to the noise that we are often exposed to in our daily lives, some unhealthy habits can also lead to hearing loss: wearing headphones for a long time to listen to music, picking ears with hands or other things for a long time, etc.
If children are exposed to noise for a long time, it can also cause ear diseases. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the protection of their children's ears and try not to expose their children to noise for a long time.
Eat a balanced diet to prevent ear diseases
Many experts said that children's ear diseases have a lot to do with diet, if long-term consumption of high-fat, high-calorie food, will cause body fat accumulation, cause obesity, and obesity will cause body dysfunction, metabolic abnormalities, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the inner ear. Insufficient blood supply to the inner ear can cause various ear diseases.
Therefore, parents should focus on nutritionally balanced foods when preparing food for their children, and do not let their children eat fried, high-fat, high-sugar foods. Also take care to avoid excessive alcohol and coffee.
In the usual diet, children should also eat more foods rich in vitamins and trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron.
Scientific prevention of disease
If children are found to have problems such as itchy ears, swollen pinna, hearing loss, tinnitus, etc., seek medical attention in time.
Because hearing loss caused by ear lesions cannot be avoided and should be actively prevented. Children with otitis media must be treated in time to avoid bacterial infection causing inflammation of the inner ear, which can cause more serious consequences.
If ear pain and ear stuffiness occur, seek medical attention in time
Experts said that when the child has earache and ear stuffiness, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in time to rule out ear diseases.
Because when there is inflammation of the ear, if not treated in time, it may lead to otitis media, which can lead to otitis media, hearing loss and other conditions.
In addition, water ingress in the ears is also a problem. If the water in the ear is not cleaned up in time, it will cause water in the ear when the child swims or bathes, which can lead to hearing loss, etc.
If water in the ear is not treated in time, it may also lead to ear infections and middle ear diseases. Therefore, parents should pay attention to let their children wear swimming earmuffs or use earplugs to protect their ears when swimming.
