1. Stay away from noise.
Not only the elderly, but also the young. Frequent exposure to noise can also lead to hearing loss. This is because noise will cause the blood vessels inside the ear to be in a bad state, which will lead to hearing loss over time. Therefore, for the elderly, it is best not to be exposed to noise often.
Reasonable diet
Eat less sweet and salty paste to prevent arteriosclerosis from causing inner ear ischemia and hearing loss.
Quit smoking and drink less.
Because alcohol and tobacco have toxic effects on auditory nerve, especially nicotine in smoke enters the blood, which makes small blood vessels spasm, blood slow and viscosity increase, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the inner ear, thus promoting deafness.
4. Eat more iron-containing food
It is found that after people enter the age of 60, the microvessels in the ears will gradually harden and narrow, and the red blood cells will gradually harden. Sclerosing red blood cells are easy to block microvessels, leading to ear microcirculation disorder, cutting off oxygen and nutrient supply of hair cells, and causing senile deafness.
Therefore, to solve this problem, it is necessary to expand the microvessels inside the ear as much as possible to ensure the blood condition of the ear and prevent hearing loss. The most effective way is to supplement the body with iron. Therefore, as long as you eat more foods containing iron, it should be easy to prevent hearing loss. The most effective way is to supplement the body with iron.
5. Pick your ears scientifically
Picking your ear is actually a bad habit, which can easily hurt the ear canal, cause infection and inflammation, and even damage the eardrum. When the ear itches, you can gently wipe the ear canal with a small cotton swab dipped in glycerin. Sticking to massage Yifeng point and Tinghui point before and after the earlobe can increase the blood circulation of the inner ear and protect hearing.
6. Keep a good attitude

7. supplement zinc and vitamin d
It is found that the content of zinc in the cochlea of inner ear is very high, which is much higher than that in other organs. However, after 55 years old, the content of zinc in cochlea decreased obviously, which affected the function of cochlea and led to hearing loss. Therefore, the elderly must be properly supplemented with zinc. In addition, presbycusis is also related to abnormal metabolism of vitamin D in the body. The elderly should eat more foods rich in zinc and vitamin D in their daily diet, mainly lean meat, beans, fungus, shrimp, mushrooms, oysters and various green leafy vegetables.
