What are the causes of sudden deafness

Nowadays, many people often suffer from many sudden illnesses due to some problems in life. If they do not get enough rest for a while or do not pay attention to the care of their bodies, these may cause sudden deafness. Most patients with sudden deafness have problems with their bodies due to lack of sleep, often skipping breakfast, or not having good rest habits. In order to prevent the occurrence of sudden deafness, try not to wear headphones for a long time, avoid noisy environments, try not to listen to DJ music, or stay in dance halls for a long time, pay attention to rest, and maintain a good life. If the sudden deafness is serious, you can usually cooperate with medication and physical conditioning for dual treatment, and slowly adjust the deafness so that you can recover.

What are the causes of sudden deafness?

Some can be diagnosed quickly, while others are difficult to identify for a long time. Researchers have found that lifestyle and eating habits are related to sudden deafness. The researchers conducted a comparative survey on the living and eating habits of 164 patients with sudden deafness who came to the hospital for treatment and 24,941 healthy people with the same age, gender, and place of residence as the patients with sudden deafness, and analyzed the risk factors leading to sudden deafness.

The results show that people who do not get enough sleep and often skip breakfast are more likely to suffer from sudden deafness. The risk of sudden deafness is 4.3 times that of those who sleep less than 7 hours a day compared to those who sleep 7-8 hours a day; the risk of sudden deafness of those who often skip breakfast is 2.73 times that of those who eat breakfast.

In addition, the number of people who do not drink tea every day is 1.76 times that of people who drink tea every day. The researchers pointed out that although it is not clear whether sudden deafness is related to tea drinking, work stress, fast pace of life and bad eating habits are indeed important factors leading to sudden deafness.

Sudden deafness refers to sudden onset of sensorineural hearing loss. The disease is often accompanied by tinnitus, and some patients also have vertigo. It is one of the common ear diseases.

Otolaryngologists remind: Prevention of sudden deafness should start from daily life. Avoid exposing yourself to noisy environments and avoid going to overly noisy places such as dance halls. Pay attention to rest, get enough sleep, and don't listen to music with earplugs before going to bed. Try to maintain a relaxed and good attitude, find ways to help relieve stress and tension, and develop good living habits.
