Suspicious suspicion caused by deafness is a serious psychological disorder.In old age, people’s social status changes, they are old and weak, and they are always afraid that others will look down on them, which will lead to a sense of inferiority.Deaf elderly people will have more low self-esteem and pay more attention to others’ attitudes towards themselves, so that a series of conjectures about an inconspicuous action will gradually evolve into hostility and attack on others, causing paranoia.
With age, the hearing of many elderly people will decline.The hearing loss of the elderly is not taken seriously by the elderly. What are the hazards of the hearing loss of the elderly?
1. “Communication difficulties”: hearing loss directly causes hearing impairment, especially sensorineural nervesHearing lossWhen the high-frequency hair cells responsible for sound recognition begin to show disease, people with hearing loss begin to have the problem of “hearing, inaudible”, which leads to “difficulty in communication.”This communication difficulty is particularly prominent in a noisy environment. It will make it difficult for them to distinguish speech and deviations in communication, which will cause unnecessary embarrassment and contradictions, which we do not want to appear.
2. Increase the feeling of “mental fatigue”: When people with hearing loss want to hear the other party’s speech clearly, they will undoubtedly have to put more energy into analyzing what the other party is saying. Such long-term communication will inevitably cause exhaustion. .And this sense of exhaustion comes not only from the body, but also from the psychology.
3. Increasing the feeling of “social isolation”: Hearing loss is a process of gradual aggravation. When the hearing loss gets worse, people with hearing loss will find that they can’t hear the words of the people around them more and more, and at the same time they will communicate more and more. Seriously, when you are tired of listening and do not want to communicate, when people around you are alienated from you because of difficulties in communicating with you, a sense of social isolation will follow.They will feel that they are gradually moving away from and isolated from society.
4. Lead to “depression”: When you start to be anxious and unable to hear other people’s conversations, when you begin to isolate the society, and your personal presence becomes weaker and weaker, a kind of anxiety and depression begin to emerge spontaneously.Some people even have thoughts of committing suicide!
5. “Heart Problems”: According to the China Audiology Network, studies in the United States and many countries have shown that hearing loss is related to cardiovascular disease (CVD).Among them, an epidemiological survey of hearing loss conducted in Wisconsin, USA in 2002 showed that subjects with a history of cardiovascular disease are about 54% more likely to have cochlear function impairment than subjects without the same medical history.
6. “Dementia”: Many studies have shown that hearing loss is related to Alzheimer’s disease.Studies have even shown that for patients with hearing loss, for every 10dB increase in their hearing threshold, their risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease will increase by 20%.Hearing loss is not only damage to the auditory organs, but also directly affects the patient’s central nervous system and brain information processing capabilities.As hearing loss gets worse and the amount of sound control received by the brain becomes less and less, the brain’s ability to move will gradually be lost, leading to Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, people often say that the elderly are “ten deaf and nine stupid.” .
If there is a problem with the body, you should go to a regular hospital for examination and receive professional treatment after diagnosis is the correct treatment process.It is a wrong idea to choose a home remedy during treatment. There are still many professional therapies for deafness.Patients should choose more scientific and effective treatments.
