In the past, hearing problems were mainly concentrated in the elderly, deafness genes and congenital deafness, as well as occupational groups in noisy environments, but in recent years, young people's hearing loss has become increasingly prominent, and some seemingly ordinary living habits are silently harming their hearing. It is not uncommon for people aged 20 years old to have hearing at the age of 60 in outpatient clinics. They are likely to become prematurely deaf in the future.

Bad ear habits, prolonged exposure to noise and sustained mental stress and anxiety are important causes of hearing loss in young people.

Once you feel that hearing loss is accompanied by tinnitus, ear boredom, dizziness, inconcentration and other phenomena, you should go to the hospital in time to do a hearing examination, especially the appearance of tinnitus should cause vigilance.

The earlier hearing loss is detected and treated properly, the better the prognosis, and most can be recovered if seen within a week.
