Can otitis media cause deafness

summary

I am 18 years old. Recently, I feel some pain in my ears. I bought a bottle of ear medicine. Sometimes I drop a few drops. But after a few days, it doesn't get better. On the contrary, it has a more serious trend. I went to the hospital for examination. The doctor said it was otitis media. After treatment, it was much better. I would like to share with you my experience on whether otitis media can cause deafness

Can otitis media cause deafness

Otitis media can cause hearing loss. Harm 1: intracranial complications: when otitis media is not cured for a long time, delayed treatment or improper treatment, it will lead to intracranial complications in human brain. In addition, the cause of death due to intracranial complications, mostly due to brain abscess complications, and often die of brain cancer.

Harm 2: temporal complications: when otitis media continues to develop, it can also induce otitis media, mastoiditis, labyrinthitis, facial paralysis, facial nerve paralysis and other diseases.

Harm three: extracranial abscess: when the disease complicated with extracranial abscess, usually can touch the lesion location, texture is soft, and red, sometimes the patient will be accompanied by high fever and other symptoms. When the abscess spreads to the neck, it can also lead to rupture of large blood vessels and eventually death.

matters needing attention

In this regard, I would like to remind you: if you often have otitis media or are often associated with water, you should remember to use desiccant every time you wet your ears. Disinfectant alcohol, white vinegar and mineral oil are good desiccants. Turn your head to one side with your ears up. Pull the ear back and up to straighten the ear canal. Drop a few drops of desiccant, shake the head, so that the alcohol reaches the bottom of the ear canal, and then turn the head to the other side, so that the alcohol is discharged.
