Pay attention to ear hygiene and dig less holes. Some elderly people like to dig their ears with fingernails, ear spoons and even matchsticks and cotton swabs, which can easily hurt the ear canal and cause infection, inflammation and even damage the eardrum. If something enters the ear, such as water flowing into the ear during bathing, it should be cleaned up in time to prevent common acute exogenous diseases and acute otitis media from affecting hearing.
Use drugs with caution. The elderly often use antibiotics for prevention and treatment, because their body resistance is weak and they are prone to get sick or suffer from various diseases. It should be noted that antibiotics such as streptomycin, gentamicin and kanamycin are toxic to the inner ear and kidneys and should be avoided as much as possible.
Maintaining emotional stability, impatience, anger and other negative emotions will affect the loss of normal regulatory function of autonomic nerves in the body, causing ischemia, edema and auditory nerve malnutrition in the inner ear, leading to a sharp decline in hearing or deafness. So, try to keep yourself relaxed and happy.
