Question
What’s going on with the hearing decline in people between 60 and 70 years old?
Answer
A 68-year-old female patient experienced a decline in hearing in her left ear, accompanied by tinnitus symptoms. Hearing loss can be categorized into several types, including conductive deafness, sensorineural deafness, and mixed deafness. Tinnitus is a difficult-to-treat symptom, and timely treatment for hearing loss is crucial. The optimal treatment window is within 7 days; if it exceeds a month, the chances of recovery are significantly reduced. If there is a temporary improvement in hearing after covering the ears with your hand, this practice can be done regularly to potentially help restore hearing.
