It's no secret that hearing and the ability to listen are perhaps our best qualities. But how does our hearing get worse over time and this is influenced by many factors. Let's consider a couple of them:
Age. 33% of people over 65 have hearing loss of varying severity. At age 75, the likelihood of hearing loss increases to 50%. Cases of hearing loss at a young age are associated with diseases or injuries, a hereditary factor.
Heredity. If at least one of your parents has a hearing loss, your chances of getting the disease are more than doubled.
Arterial hypertension. People with high blood pressure are much more likely to develop hearing loss (hearing loss).
Improper nutrition - elevated blood cholesterol levels are associated with hearing loss.
Alcohol abuse. In people who abuse alcohol for more than 2-10 years, the receptor section of the auditory analyzer is disturbed and the perception of sound decreases, especially in the high frequency range. In people suffering from alcoholism for more than 10 years, the central part of the auditory analyzer is disturbed, which causes an even greater decrease in auditory functions.
Diabetes. People with diabetes are more than 5 times more likely to have high frequency hearing loss than healthy people.
Acoustic injury. Traumatic acoustic impact on the inner ear (with a sound intensity above 90 dB; 120 dB is a critical value) causes damage to the hair cells of the cochlea and, consequently, a violation of their ability to transmit sounds to the auditory nerve of the brain. This is how deafness and deafness develop.
Impact of harmful environmental factors (noise). Hearing impairment can occur not only as a result of a one-time acoustic injury, but also as a result of chronic noise exposure. Constant exposure to noise of 40 dB (normal speech) or more causes a slow hearing loss; exposure to noise of 75 dB is, in fact, a chronic acoustic microtrauma, which leads to hearing loss even faster. Traumatic noises include sounds that are comparable in volume to the noise of working metalworking machines, construction equipment, presses, and very loud music.
Smoking. Smoking affects hearing in the most negative way, causing not only its weakening, but also the development of diseases of the middle ear. Acute and chronic diseases of the nasopharynx, frequent in smokers, in some cases lead to inflammation of the middle ear (otitis media). Damage to the auditory nerve when smoking is a direct road to permanent hearing loss.
Overweight. Excess weight can contribute to the development of diabetes, which, in turn, leads to the occurrence of diseases of the hearing organs.
Stress. One-time shocks can also be considered harmful to hearing - periods of acute nervousness, stress, and chronic being in a state of tension. If a person already has a hearing impairment, stress significantly accelerates the development of the disease and aggravates it.
An audiologist is a professional trained in diagnosing and treating hearing and balance disorders. They use specialized equipment and techniques to assess hearing ability, provide recommendations for treatment and manage hearing aids. Audiologists also educate patients and their families on maintaining hearing health, communication strategies and assistive technology. They hold a master's or doctorate degree in audiology and are licensed to practice by the state.
