The Dangers of Hearing Loss: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
In today’s world, the use of headphones has become increasingly common, with many people wearing them for several hours a day. However, the prevalence of hearing loss among younger individuals is also on the rise. As a result, Asst. Prof. Dr. Kawinyarat Chitrarun, an expert in Otolaryngology and Allergy from the Ear, Nose, and Throat Center, is addressing the symptoms and potential treatment methods for hearing loss.
One of the major causes of hearing loss is the natural aging process, as auditory nerve cells tend to deteriorate with increasing age. However, the frequent exposure to loud noises, inflammation, infections, and genetic predisposition can also contribute to this condition. Notably, wearing headphones, especially the types that are inserted into the ears, at high volumes can exert pressure on the ears and lead to premature hearing loss.
According to Asst. Prof. Dr. Chitrarun, common symptoms of hearing loss include the need to turn up the TV or speakers loudly, difficulty hearing conversations, and experiencing buzzing or hissing noises in the ears. It is advised to seek medical attention if any of these symptoms are present.
In addition to gradual hearing loss, there is a condition known as acute deafness, which can occur suddenly at any age. This condition may be caused by infection, ear nerve injury from loud noises, accidents, tumors, or other nervous system-related diseases. Prompt treatment, such as oral steroids, middle ear injections, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, can significantly improve the chances of recovery for acute hearing loss.
While hearing loss may be difficult to reverse, there are measures to mitigate its progression, such as avoiding loud environments and controlling symptoms related to other medical conditions like diabetes. For individuals with severe hearing loss, hearing aids can be a valuable option for improving sound perception.
As people are increasingly exposed to loud noises, it is vital to protect the ears from premature hearing loss. Asst. Prof. Dr. Chitrarun emphasized the importance of avoiding unnecessary exposure to loud noises to prevent premature hearing loss.
