20-82% of hypertensive patients have tinnitus and deafness. This is because the arteriosclerosis of hypertension affects the blood supply of the inner ear, causing degenerative changes in the function of the auditory nerve. Most patients with hypertension also have elevated blood lipids. .Because hyperlipidemia can cause lipid deposition in the inner ear, and the increase in lipid peroxide directly leads to the damage of inner ear hair cells and vascular atrophy; in addition, the viscosity of blood in patients with hyperlipidemia increases, which increases platelet aggregation and is prone to atherosclerosis. The arteries of the inner ear are very small and have no collateral circulation, which makes blood flow slower, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the inner ear, causing the inner ear microcirculation perfusion disorder, and then affecting the hearing of the inner ear, resulting in a sense of low frequency symmetry in both ears. Acoustic nerve deafness accompanied by persistent high-profile tinnitus, especially in elderly patients with high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia, the performance is more pronounced.If it has caused hearing loss and affects daily life and social interaction, food should be controlled on the one hand to slow down the rate of hearing loss.
As the elderly grow older, the function of various organs will gradually decline, and the same is true for the ears.Systemic diseases such as high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes can also cause further hearing loss.If the hearing aid is properly adjusted, after wearing the hearing aid, the auditory nerve will be continuously stimulated, which will help delay the rate of hearing loss.
