In modern society, each of us is at risk of hearing loss. According to the data in the global archives of deafness and hearing impairment published by the World Health Organization, more than half of hearing impairment is caused by human beings.
That means that hearing loss can be greatly reduced as long as we know how to protect and do a good job in protection,
So what are the effective ways to protect hearing in daily life?
Don’t dig your ears frequently
When digging the ear, you can use a cotton swab to gently rotate at the mouth of the external auditory canal, then let the ear down and discharge the earwax by yourself.
Be careful not to dig your ears with sharp things such as nails and clips. In addition, you can’t dig your ears too often. Normally, it’s just once a week.
Master the “60-60” principle
Most people always like to maximize the sound when wearing headphones, but when wearing headphones, they should actually follow the “60-60” principle. This is an internationally recognized method to protect hearing.
That is, the earphone volume DB shall be less than 60 dB, the earphone volume shall be less than 60% of the maximum volume, and the continuous use of the earphone shall be less than 60 minutes.
On the other hand, external headphones are the best choice, because compared with earphone, it has less damage to hearing. Pay attention to not using headphones in noisy environment.
Don’t ignore the problem of listening
Many people actually ignore listening problems.
Because it is different from eye vision, even smell and taste, the manifestations of hearing loss are often difficult to be detected. After all, infection, inflammation and insufficient blood supply can affect hearing in a short time.
But in fact, once there is a hearing problem, you must seek medical attention in time and measure your hearing with professional hearing testing equipment.
Pay attention to rest and avoid staying up late
Often staying up late, too much work pressure, emotional tension, overwork and other states will lead to hearing loss, so we should pay attention to rest, avoid staying up late and ensure enough sleep time!
In addition, we should develop good work and rest habits in our daily life, rather than sleeping when we are sleepy.
Supplement body nutrition
Vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6 and vitamin C can play a good role in protecting auditory cells. Therefore, we can appropriately supplement vitamin supplements in our daily life, and we can also eat more coarse grains, eggs, vegetables, fruits and other foods.
