2. Stop digging. Frequently using an ear spoon and a match stick to pull out the ear, it is easy to knock against the ear canal, causing infection and inflammation, and may also damage the eardrum. When the ear is itchy and uncomfortable, you can gently wipe the ear canal with a cotton swab dipped in a little alcohol or glycerin, or take vitamin B, C and cod liver oil orally.
3. Use drugs with caution. Try to avoid using ototoxic drugs, such as gentamicin, streptomycin, kanamycin and neomycin. Because the detoxification and excretion functions of the elderly are low, the use of these drugs can easily cause ototoxicity and damage hearing.
4, regular massage. Massage the Yifeng and Tinghui points before and after the earlobe can increase the blood circulation of the inner ear and protect hearing. Massage once every morning and evening for 5- 10 minutes.
5, extinguish the liver fire. If the elderly are often in a state of impatience and irritability, it will lead to the loss of normal regulation function of autonomic nerve, ischemia, edema and auditory neurotrophic disorder in inner ear organs, which will lead to a sharp decline in hearing or sudden deafness. Therefore, the elderly should try to keep a relaxed and happy mood.
