Neurological deafness is a condition in which the auditory nerve or the auditory center of the brain is damaged, and hearing loss or total paralysis occurs. The lesions of neurological deafness are often the hair cells of the auger, the auditory nerves at all levels, and the auditory center. In addition, due to various external causes of hearing nerve injury, resulting in hearing loss or hearing loss, it is also a neurological deafness. So how should neurological deafness be treated?

Neurotic deafness can be divided into three types: mixed neurological deafness, sensorineural deafness, and conduction neurological deafness.

Sensorineural deafness

Sensorineural deafness can not convert acoustic signals into neural signals, and its causes are both congenital and acquired. Congenital causes are often hypoplasia of inner ear, infection with virus during pregnancy and drug poisoning, etc. The main reasons are knocking, drug poisoning, deafness in the elderly, long-term acceptance of noise stimulation, and trauma. The main symptoms are high frequency hearing loss, poor language comprehension, tinnitus or dizziness. Whatever the cause of sensorineural deafness, the end result is permanent damage to the hearing, that is, it cannot be recovered by treatment.

Conductive neurological deafness

Conductive neurological deafness is caused by nerve damage and other signals can not be transmitted on the nerve, the main cause of which is the transmission of neuropathy caused by diseases such as middle ear lesions, chronic acute suppurative otitis media, congenital malformations, tumors, and otosclerosis. . The main symptoms are weak hearing or complete hearing loss.

Mixed neurological deafness

Mixed neurological deafness is the simultaneous presence of conductive deafness and neurological deafness, and the disease is more serious. In general, such deafness is low in healing and severe in hearing loss. We must know that mixed neurological deafness can be developed by conductive deafness or sensory deafness. Therefore, for transient deafness, it should not be taken lightly. It is necessary to actively go to the hospital to find out the cause, and after the diagnosis, actively carry out treatment or intervention. Maximum retention of hearing and reduced loss.

The treatment of neurological deafness is difficult and generally cannot be cured through the damaged part, but it can be treated to reduce the patient’s condition, so that the patient can return to normal life.

For patients with a general degree of disease, hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatment can be used, and drugs such as vitamin B1 are used to nourish the nerve.

In addition, conventional treatment methods include wearing a hearing aid and an electronic cochlear implant, among which the cost of the electronic cochlear implant is high, and those who have the condition can consider it. There are also many techniques for the treatment of neurological deafness that are being studied, but because of the slow progress and other issues, the conditions for clinical application are not met, and it is not recommended.

In short, the principle of treatment of neurological deafness is early intervention and early treatment, so that patients can learn, work and live normally.
