The most common causes of hearing impairment are: accidentally stabbing the tympanic membrane when removing the ear, causing deafness; long-term use of gentamicin, quinine, streptomycin and other drugs that damage the ears due to certain diseases , Causing hearing loss; suffering from otitis media, causing hearing impairment and so on.

If a child’s hearing is impaired, it will affect the language development and often become dumb. Therefore, we must try our best to protect the child’s hearing.To protect children’s hearing, the following 3 points should be taken:

(1) Be careful not to use matches, hairpins, etc. to pick out earwax for children.Generally speaking, earwax can fall out on its own without having to dig out.If there is too much earwax in the ear and it does not fall out, you can go to the hospital for a doctor to take it out.It is strictly forbidden for children to dig out their ears by themselves, because children’s hand muscles are poorly controlled, and the ears will be damaged if they are not careful.In addition, if children are found to have problems such as stuffing paper balls in their ears, they should be educated.

(2) Try to avoid giving children gentamicin, quinine, streptomycin and other drugs to avoid hearing damage.It is necessary to prevent infectious diseases such as upper respiratory tract infection, tonsillitis, measles, and Japanese encephalitis.Because these diseases can cause otitis media.In addition, when washing children’s hair and face, do not let sewage flow into the ears, so as to avoid otitis externa and affect hearing.

(3) Do not let children close to places with too much noise, so as not to damage children’s hearing.If you find that your child’s ears are painful, you must go to the hospital for an examination and get the correct treatment as soon as possible to avoid hearing loss in children.
