(1) Don't pull out your child's earwax yourself.
Dig with matchsticks, hairpins, sweater needles, etc. In children's ear canal, a little carelessness or collision will scratch the ear canal and cause external auditory canal infection, puncture the tympanic membrane and lead to hearing loss.
(2) Don't let children get too close to the place where firecrackers are set off, and teach children to cover their ears when firecrackers sound. The high-pressure airflow generated by the loud noise of firecrackers will cause perforation of tympanic membrane or fracture of auditory bone, which can lead to deafness in severe cases.
(3) Don't physically punish children, let alone slap in the face, and be alert to the danger of "slapping deaf".
(4) Children with otitis media and other ear diseases should be treated thoroughly in time.
(5) Prevent noise from harming children, and don't listen to music and songs too loudly.
(6) When the child has a cold, tell him not to pinch his nose and blow his nose on both sides, because it is easy to make his nose enter the middle ear through the eustachian tube and cause suppurative otitis media. In order to reduce the harm, children can be taught to hold their noses with one nostril and blow their noses with the other.
(7) Don't give children ototoxic drugs such as streptomycin, kanamycin, gentamicin and quinine unless necessary. In the process of using such drugs, it is necessary to closely observe whether the child's hearing has changed. Once tinnitus and hearing loss are found, the drug should be stopped immediately and corresponding treatment measures should be taken.
(8) Parents should not smoke in the nursery, because cigarettes can cause children's ear diseases. According to the research of American experts, children aged 6 months to 2 years are most likely to suffer from ear diseases when they are affected by tobacco and smoke, among which otitis media has the highest incidence.
