Incidentally I attended a lecture by a ear specialist a few days back Some of what I remember I present below :
- With growing age loss of hearing is normal and it will vary from person to person.
- In most case it is hereditary
- Other causes can be working in high noise environment with out ear protection devices, sinus and cold, impact injuries like a hard slap on the face
- the ear also plays a vital role in maintaining balance in a person. Loss of balance is popularly known as vertigo. It is treatable but most of the time patients go to general physicians who give medicine for temporarily relief. The ear also generally recovers balance function naturally in about a week's time. However they should go to ENT doctor for getting treated properly.
- If person becomes hard of hearing he should get a audio test done to now which decibel range he/she is not able to hear and get an appropriate hearing machine .
- Hearing machine should be worn on both ears and not only one year which patients generally do. like one puts a spectacle for both eyes and not one eye.
- He strongly advised against use of the popular ear cleaning buds as they end up infecting the ear. The ear cleanses itself and ear wax is the solidified form of the liquid wax produced by the ear.
- We all are aware of cleaning ear our canals with all sorts of pins, keys, match sticks, pencils etc. Many a time these puncture the ear drum and it gets infected and leads to loss of hearing.
-In western countries deaf and dumb schools have been closed down because at a very early age they are now able to detect if the child is deaf and they are then provided with implants which enable them to hear and thus they grow and hear normally. However these being very costly in India unfortunately we are notable to provide these and they live with this handicap for life.
- ALL requirements of country's hearing aids are imported because their manufacture is not undertaken by any Indian industrialist till date and that is the main reason for they being costly. If they are made in India then the costs can come down by about 60% .
; One should not speak loudly to a person who is wearing a hearing machine as it causes pain because of amplification. Similarly many persons hard of hearing speak loudly because they otherwise will not hear their own voice.
The above is for information.
