Make sure that hearing damage is irreversible

天天戴耳机？经常在嘈杂的场所？快摸摸自己的耳朵，问：你们还好吗？因为听力丢失是不可逆的……

目前，全球大约有4.66亿人患有致残性听力损失，包括3400万儿童。有11亿12-35岁的年轻人由于娱乐场所的噪音，面临着听力损失的风险。

世卫组织于今天发布的首份全球听力报告估测，到2050年，全球近四分之一的人将经历某种程度的听力受损。

而听力损失的许多影响是可以通过早发现、早干预来减轻的！让我们先来了解下哪些行为属于伤耳行为，避免并爱护我们的耳朵！

Do you wear headphones every day? Do you always visit Often noisy places? Quickly touch your ears and ask: Are you okay? Because hearing loss is irreversible…

· Currently, approximately 466 million people worldwide suffer from disabling hearing loss, including 34 million children. 1.1 billion young people aged 12-35 are at risk of hearing loss due to noise in entertainment venues.

· The first global hearing report released by the World Health Organization today estimates that by 2050, nearly a quarter of the world’s people will experience some degree of hearing loss.

· Many effects of hearing loss can be mitigated by early detection and early intervention! Let us first understand which behaviors are ear-damaging, avoid and take care of your ears!

What behaviors are ear-damaging?

 1、游泳前后不注意检查耳朵

 游泳时耳道进水、呛水引发的耳朵疾 病也很多，主要有急性化脓性中耳炎和外耳道炎。儿童是此类疾病的高发人群。常见症状是耳朵不适、耳朵闷胀、疼痛、听力下降、流脓等。游泳 池的水中有很多细菌，儿童的咽鼓管尚处于发育阶段，加上抵抗力低，位于耳鼻喉的细菌更容易侵入，造成发炎。

Inadvertently check ears before and after swimming

· There are many ear diseases caused by water in the ear canal and choking while swimming, mainly including otitis and external otitis. Children are at a high risk of such diseases. Common symptoms are ear discomfort, ear swelling, pain, hearing loss, and pus. There are bacteria in the swimming pool water. Children’s Eustachian tubes are still in the developmental stage. Coupled with low resistance, bacteria located in the ear, nose, and throat are more likely to invade and cause inflammation.

 2、滥用抗生素

 因滥用抗生素而导致的药物性耳聋比较常见于少年儿童。一些抗生素例如常见的新霉素、庆大霉素等会很好地控制感染，可同时引发的副作用是损害脑神经，引起耳聋。这种药物性耳聋暂时没有很好的治疗方法，最好是提早检测，进行预防。

Abuse of antibiotics

· Drug-induced deafness caused by the abuse of antibiotics is more common in children. Some antibiotics such as the common neomycin, gentamicin, etc. can control the infection well, and the side effect that can cause at the same time is to damage the brain nerves and cause deafness. There is no good treatment for this kind of drug-induced deafness, and it is best to detect it early and prevent it.

3、过度疲劳，压力过大

 目前突发性耳聋以25-40岁的年轻人居多。原因在医学上还 不明确。可能和熬夜、工作压力大、长期疲劳、睡眠不足等有关。人高度紧张时，耳朵血管收缩导致缺血缺氧，发生耳聋。

Excessive fatigue and excessive stress

· At present, most of the sudden deafness is young people aged 25-40. The reason is still unclear in medicine. It may be related to staying up late, working pressure, long-term fatigue, lack of sleep, etc. When a person is highly stressed, ear vasoconstriction leads to hypoxia, and deafness occurs.

4、不正确擤鼻涕

很多人擤鼻涕用两个手指捏住两侧鼻子，然后用力将鼻涕擤出来，如果压力太大不能从鼻子释放就会走到耳朵和咽喉。一旦用力过猛可能造成鼓膜穿孔。

Blow your nose incorrectly

· Many people blow their noses and pinch the noses on both sides with two fingers, and then forcefully blow the nose out. If the pressure is too great to be released from the nose, it will go to the ears and throat. Excessive force may cause perforation of the membrane.

5、经常泡吧、去KTV

在100分贝音乐中待15分钟接触的音量等级可能相当于工人 一天8小时接触85分贝声音所达到的等级。即使只在这些娱乐场所短时间接触高分贝等级也是有害的。习惯性接触会逐渐出现听力损失。

Partying, visiting KTV

· The level of exposure to 100 decibels of music for 15 minutes may be equivalent to the level reached by a worker who is exposed to 85 decibels for 8 hours a day. Even exposure to high decibel levels in these entertainment venues for a short time is harmful. Habitual exposure will gradually cause hearing loss.

6、用硬物掏耳朵

耳道有自排自洁功能，大部分人的耳屎可以自行排出，建议如无耳部不适，尽量不要去掏耳朵。更不要用牙签、发卡、火柴等容易损伤耳道皮肤甚至鼓膜的东西掏。

Use a hard object to dig out your ears

· The ear canal has a self-draining and self-cleaning function. Most people’s earwax can be discharged on their own. It is recommended that if there is no ear discomfort, try not to remove your ears. Don’t use toothpicks, hairpins, matches, and other things that can easily damage the skin of the ear canal or even the membrane.

7、长时间“煲电话粥”

很多人喜欢“煲电话粥”，一打就是几十分钟甚至1小时。频 繁接听或长时间接听电话，可能会损失听力，还可能引起神经性耳聋。专家建议，打电话最好一次不超过3分钟。

 Long-term “talking on the phone”

· Many people like to “talk on the phone”, a dozen minutes or even an hour. Frequent answering or answering the phone for a long time may cause hearing loss and neurological deafness. Experts suggest that it is best to make a phone call for no more than 3 minutes.

8、坐地铁公交时戴耳机

在公共交通工具或者私家车上听音乐,由于音量需要调整到可以掩盖交通工具，所以分贝数会比安静时高。长时间暴露在这种条件下，就容易损害听力。

wear earphones when taking the subway or bus

· Listening to music on public transportation or private cars, the volume needs to be adjusted to cover the transportation, so the decibels will be higher than when it is quiet. Prolonged exposure to this condition can easily damage hearing.

9、乘飞机时不注意做吞咽动作

飞机在起飞或降落时，由于从高空急速下降引起鼓室内外压 力差值过大，容易造成中耳损伤，很多人会感到两耳发闷、疼痛，鼓膜有憋胀感，听到的声音变小、头晕等症状。应注意做吞咽动作，必要时使用药物以收缩血管。

Don’t pay attention to swallowing when flying

· When the plane is taking off or landing, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the tympanum is too large due to the rapid descent from high altitude, which is easy to cause middle ear damage. Many people will feel dullness and pain in their ears, swelling of the tympanic membrane, and the sound they hear changes. Minority, dizziness, and other symptoms. You should pay attention to swallowing, and if necessary, use drugs to constrict blood vessels.

儿童倘若长时间接触机器轰鸣、车辆喧闹、人声喧哗等各种噪音，会使听觉产生疲劳，听力急剧减退，甚至引发噪音性耳聋。

1. Don’t leave your child in a noisy place for a long time

If children are exposed to various noises such as machine roar, vehicle noise, and human voice for a long time, they will cause hearing fatigue, rapid hearing loss, and even cause noise-induced deafness.

经常用耳勺、火柴棒掏耳朵，容易碰伤耳道，引起感染、发炎，还可能弄坏耳膜。儿童耳道出现发痒、难受时，家长可以用棉签沾少许酒精或甘油轻擦耳道，亦可内服维生素B、C和鱼肝油。如奇痒难受，小编建议应及时就医，以免耽误最佳治疗时间。

2. Try not to dig out the ears for children

Frequently use ear picks and match sticks to dig out your ears, which can easily damage the ear canal, cause infection, inflammation, and may damage the eardrum. When children’s ear canals are itchy and uncomfortable, parents can use a cotton swab to moisten the ear canal with a little alcohol or glycerin or take vitamin B, C, and cod liver oil orally. If the itching is uncomfortable, the editor recommends that you should seek medical treatment in time to avoid delaying the best treatment time.

很多时候家长都会让幼儿接听一些家人的电话，有时会持续很长时间。小编在此提醒家长朋友们，应当尽量减少幼儿使用手机通话的时间，避免因长时间通话对耳朵造成的损伤。在可能的情况下，应当使用免提功能，以减少对听力的损伤。

3. Reduce the talk time of young children using electronic devices

Many times parents will let young children answer the phone calls of some family members, sometimes for a long time. The editor hereby reminds parents and friends that we should minimize the time that children spend on mobile phones to avoid ear damage caused by long-term calls. When possible, a hands-free function should be used to reduce hearing damage.

对于儿童平日耳朵中出现的不适，家长一定要引起重视。及时进行检查，必要时要进行治疗，决不可忽视。

4. Parents must pay attention to the discomfort in children’s ears on weekdays. Carry out inspections in time, and treat them when necessary. They must not be ignored.
