Can noise deafness be cured?
summary
My friend's mother has been suffering from nerve deafness for nearly 30 years. In recent years, she found that her hearing has decreased significantly, so she went to the Department of otolaryngology in the 3A hospital for treatment. As soon as she checked her hearing, the doctor said that it was nerve deafness, and told my friend's mother that she couldn't cure it. The patient was very sad and didn't want to lose his hearing, so I came here to ask the doctors here, Is 30 years of nerve deafness really incurable? Please have the doctor friend who knows the answer to help me answer my doubts. Thank you here.
Can noise deafness be cured?
First of all, let's understand the concept of neural deafness. Another way of hearing loss is sensorineural hearing loss. The cause of hearing loss is the pathological changes of the auditory nerve of the inner ear and the auditory center of the brain, which leads to the loss of hearing or hearing loss. The accompanying symptom of hearing loss is often tinnitus. As the saying goes, "if you sing for a long time, you will be deaf".
The causes of nervous deafness include drug-induced deafness caused by some antibiotics, deafness caused by some diseases, such as encephalitis, membranous labyrinthine hydrops and so on; Deafness caused by ear trauma; Noise induced deafness caused by long-term exposure to noisy environment.
Deafness is usually accompanied by tinnitus. Your friend's mother has been deaf for more than 30 years. Now it is almost impossible to cure it completely. You can take some kidney tonifying Chinese medicine to alleviate the progress of the disease, because from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the kidney governs the ear.
