2018-05-14 14:24:18

Drug-induced tinnitus refers to the damage of the auditory auditory nervous system caused by certain drugs or chemical agents, resulting in deafness called drug-induced tinnitus. Tinnitus is bilateral symmetrical sensorineural, mostly from high frequency to middle and low frequency development. More symptoms start in the drug, more appear after the drug, and stopping the drug does not necessarily stop its progress. It is usually temporary, and a few are permanent.

Common causes and precautions of drug-induced tinnitus
1

1, noise: shock sound and long-term noise contact, can lead to hearing loss and tinnitus, high-risk groups (working in a high-intensity noise environment) should pay attention to noise protection. For example, reduce noise sources or wear protective ear muffs and earplugs. In addition, be careful not to use Walkman headphones for a long, loud volume in a noisy environment. 2, mental tension and fatigue: when long-term in a state of high mental tension and physical fatigue are easy to aggravate tinnitus. Therefore, it is beneficial to adjust the work rhythm properly, relax the mood of tinnitus patients, and transfer the attention of tinnitus. 3, special drugs: tinnitus patients due to other diseases, please do not forget to tell the doctor that they have tinnitus. Because some medications can make your existing tinnitus symptoms worse. 4, bad habits: caffeine and alcohol can often aggravate tinnitus symptoms: smoking can reduce blood oxygen, and the inner ear hair cells are extremely sensitive to oxygen, so hypoxia will cause damage to hair cells, so pay attention to change bad habits.

Prevention and care

It is necessary to pay attention to reducing the fat and sweet diet to prevent the accumulation of phlegm and aggravate the disease. For people with kidney deficiency, tinnitus and deafness, especially pay attention to work and rest time, reduce warm and dry food, patients with spleen deficiency should pay attention to diet conditioning, and should avoid drinking strong tea, coffee, cocoa, wine and other stimulant beverages. 1. To reduce the intake of fat A large amount of fat food will increase blood lipids, increase blood viscosity and cause arteriosclerosis. The inner ear is the most sensitive to blood supply disorders, and when there is a blood circulation disorder, it will lead to a lack of auditory nerve nutrition, resulting in deafness. The total daily fat intake of middle-aged people should be controlled at about 40 grams, and fatty foods such as animal offal, fat meat, cream, egg yolk, caviar, and fried food should be eaten less. 2. Eat more iron-rich foods Iron deficiency is easy to harden red blood cells, reduce the ability to transport oxygen, and the lack of nutrient supply in the ear can damage the function of hearing cells, resulting in hearing loss. Iron supplementation can effectively prevent and delay the occurrence of tinnitus and deafness in middle-aged and elderly people. People over the age of 45, both men and women, should not consume less than 12 mg of iron per day. Commonly used food porphyra contains more iron content, per 100 grams of porphyra contains 46.8 mg of iron, shrimp skin 16.5 mg, jellyfish 17.6 mg, black sesame 26.3 mg, day lily 12.6 mg, black fungus 11.9 mg, amaranth 10.5 mg, coriander, auriculae iron content second only to amaranth, bean products average iron content of about 4 to 6 mg. 3. There are many factors that cause tinnitus and deafness in middle-aged and elderly people by eating zinc containing food, and zinc deficiency is an important reason. The amount of zinc in the cochlea is much higher than that in other organs. The zinc content in the cochlea of the elderly over 60 years old is significantly reduced, which affects the function of the cochlea and leads to hearing loss. Eat more zinc-rich foods every day, such as fish, beef, chicken, eggs, all kinds of seafood, apples, oranges, walnuts, cucumbers,

Tomatoes, cabbage, radishes, etc. 4. Often eat food that has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis can expand blood, improve blood viscosity, and help maintain the normal microcirculation of small blood in the ear. Can often eat black fungus, leek, red wine, rice wine and so on. 5. Get into the habit of drinking milk Milk contains almost all known vitamins, including vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin E and carotene. END
