Poor hearing triggers a chain reaction

Professor Wang introduced that, physiologically, hearing will gradually decrease with age. In general, after 60, there will be different degrees of deafness, but some people will have deafness in their 40s and 50s. The problem is that some elderly people feel that they have been abandoned by their families after deafness, which in turn leads to depression.

Experts suggest that once the hearing loss of the elderly is found, the family should promptly encourage and accompany the elderly to the hospital. Active treatment after finding out the cause.

In fact, while hearing is weakened, the ability of the elderly to accept information from the outside world is also weakening. In addition, it can also cause language barriers in the elderly.

When hearing loss is reduced, the auditory conduction is reduced, and the information received by the auditory language center is naturally reduced accordingly. This is what people often say. dumb”.
