Wu KequnSudden deafness in the left ear!
I believe that many friends who heard this news were shocked yesterday. This is the real thing! It's specifically like this ↓↓
According to Taiwanese media reports, artist Wu Kequn has been often tinnitus since May and June this year. He didn't care too much at the beginning, mistakenly thinking that it was just too much earwax, which caused him to be unable to hear the sound clearly. He also went to the clinic to clean up earwax.
Later, he could not hear high and low frequency sounds, and listening to others' speeches was like "robot's sound". In addition, headache and dizziness have not improved for a long time, so he went to the ENT department for examination and found that it was "sudden deafness" (that is, sudden deafness ). However, the nerves of the left ear have been damaged, and the hearing is 60% left, which may be difficult to recover.
it turns out that Wu Kequn has been very busy for the past year. While preparing to shoot movies written, directed and acted by himself, he created songs for his new album, and prepared a trendy side job that opened in August. For a period of time, he often suffered from insomnia, and even fell asleep, he dreamed of work. He only felt that "every day is very tired". is suspected to be too stressed, which leads to deafness.
This is not a star disease!
There may be someone around you...
19-year-old Guo Yu (pseudonym), just got into college this year. After the college entrance examination, I went to Chen Zhaoyue, the attending physician of the Department of Otolaryngology of Xiamen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for treatment due to tinnitus on my left ear and found that my hearing on one side had completely disappeared.
Wang Yue (pseudonym), a white-collar worker who had just been admitted to the Department of Otolaryngology of Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, is a financial staff member. He is 26 years old. Because the year-end is approaching, he frequently works overtime. When he was working overtime a few days ago, he suddenly found that his hearing loss was reduced. The examination confirmed that his hearing loss in the right ear was significantly reduced.
What is sudden deafness? So terrible?
What is sudden deafness?
specifically manifests itself as sensorineural hearing loss that occurs suddenly within 3 days and is a common acute disease in the otolaryngology department. It can be accompanied by tinnitus and dizziness at the same time or in succession.
It has no specific sexual age, that is, it can happen at any age. Only 10% to 15% of patients with deafness and deafness can determine the cause during the onset of the disease. It is generally believed that mental tension, stress, mood swings, irregular life, sleep disorders, etc. may be the main causes of sudden deafness.
The possible causes of this disease are as follows: 1. Inner ear blood supply disorder; 2. Viral infection; 3. Autoimmune diseases; 4. Infectious diseases; 5. Tumors, such as acoustic neuroma , etc.
The number of patients increased after the long holiday
Among the hospitalized patients in the Department of Otolaryngology of Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, one out of ten is a patient with sudden deafness, which is related to high stress and sudden changes. It is common for young white-collar workers who stay up late to work overtime. Whenever there is a great pressure on postgraduate entrance examinations, final exams, civil service exams, etc., the number of patients increases significantly.
In addition, after each long holiday, the number of patients coming to the hospital for treatment due to sudden deafness, tinnitus, hearing loss, etc. has increased significantly. These patients are mainly due to staying up late during long holidays, drinking heavily, and having too long exposure to noise, which eventually leads to hearing loss and even deafness.
7 days of onset is the golden treatment period for the treatment of sudden deafness. The golden treatment period is one week within the onset. "The treatment effect of within one week will be ideal, but if you delay it until two weeks of onset, the effect may not be good. ," said Chen Zhaoyue.
Most of the diseases are caused by one ear, which is easy to ignore
Chen Zhaoyue emphasized that the reason why Wu Kequn had this result is that, like most of the patients with sudden deafness he treated, when one ear declines, it is difficult to detect hearing loss because the other ear can hear things.
In fact, if Wu Keqi can check his hearing in time when something strange happens in his ear, he can detect and treat it early, and the probability of hearing recovery will be greater.
Hearing test is very important
During the outpatient clinic, many patients are unwilling to check their hearing and think that their hearing has not decreased. This is also the most common misunderstanding in outpatient clinics .In fact, hearing tests are important when there is something unusual in the ear. It can help the doctor determine what your ear is in in a timely manner. Therefore, even if shows tinnitus symptoms, you should check whether your listening skills have decreased in time.
0% of patients cannot recover
treatment: is mainly treated with hormones, vasodilators, and thrombolytic anticoagulants. Generally, after 10 to 14 days of drug treatment, if the hearing recovery is not ideal, the possibility of hearing recovery in the future is lower.
About 30% of patients with sudden deafness can recover by themselves, 30% of patients need treatment to recover, and 40% of patients cannot recover even after treatment. Moreover, after treatment, tinnitus may still be accompanied by long-term treatment.
Ten points to protect your hearing:
1. Enjoy "slow life", slow down your work pace, don't stay up late, avoid fatigue, and pay attention to rest.
2. Don’t use headphones frequently. Pay attention to controlling the volume when using them. Do not use them for more than 1 hour each time. Nowadays, many young people like to walk while wearing headphones. After a long time, be careful of ear damage.
3. Eat a lighter diet, smoke less and drink alcohol, especially when there are symptoms of tinnitus.
4. Sing K, go to a bar or drive to play music, and the volume of the speaker should not be too high.
5. Truck drivers should not always open the window to drive, as this may affect hearing in the long run.
6. People who have been exposed to noise environments for a long time such as decoration, blasting or car polishing should take good protection and wear earplugs.
7. Pay attention to the annual physical examination. Hearing loss may also be related to other problems such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hyperthyroidism, etc.
8. Colds may cause otitis media, so be careful that the virus invades the nerves and causes sudden deafness.
9. Don’t always clean your ears to avoid inflammation and hearing loss.
10. Ototoxic drugs such as gentamicin, streptomycin, kanamycin , neomycin, etc. should be avoided.
As for what to eat to protect your hearing, Chen Zhaoyue said, Pay attention to rest, don’t overwork, and don’t let yourself be in a noise environment, which is the best protection for your ears.
