One of the main parts of that two ears. Protecting our ears protects our hearing and keeps us healthy and active. Parts of the ear The ear can be divided into three parts namely the external ear, the passive ear and the inner ear. The earlobe, where the eardrum meets, does not protrude or vibrate, indicating a vacuum inside the eardrum. It consists of three small bones.
They are related to each other. The inner ear has a snail-shaped organ called the cochlea. It contains small veins. These small nerves join together to form a large nerve that reaches the brain. The earlobe picks up the sound and sends it through the hole to vibrate the bones of the eardrum. That vibration travels into the inner ear and creates vibrations in the fluid there.
Those vibrations are reflected in the nerves there. After that, there is a small electric current, which is converted into sound and reaches the brain. Once the baby is born, it needs to hear well. That is, the sound must enter through the baby’s ear and stimulate the auditory part of the brain. Only by doing so, the ability to hear will develop.
The child will be able to speak only after the sound entering through the ear stimulates the auditory part of the brain. This is because the area of the brain where sound is absorbed and where speech is produced are related to each other.
If the sound does not go inside the ear, the child cannot speak. So, hearing is the primary cause of speech and language!There are many types of deafness. Specifically, “Conductive Hearing Loss” (Conductive Hearing Loss). If there is a blockage or infection in the cavity of the outer ear, if there is a hole in the eardrum, if there is damage to the small bones of the eardrum, if there is wax blocking, if the skin cover is affected by a tumor (Cholesteatoma), it is called “conductive hearing loss”.
That is, it can be said that there is an obstruction in the passage of sound from one place to another. Next is nerve-related hearing loss. This is an inner ear problem. Sensorineural hearing loss is the problem that occurs in the nerves when the small nerves come together to form a large nerve and go into the ear. The difference between the two is that we can treat conductive hearing loss. If there is a hole in the eardrum, it can be repaired surgically.
If the small bones are affected by the skin tumor, they can be removed and implanted with artificial bones. If there is wax in the ear, it can be removed and repaired. In cases of nerve-related hearing loss, permanent hearing loss is most likely to occur. It can happen to anyone, be it children or adults. It can happen suddenly or gradually.
Sudden hearing loss can also be referred to as an inner ear stroke. For sudden hearing loss, consult a doctor immediately and get treatment, there is a chance of getting hearing back. What is the cause of hearing loss? It can be said that both genetic deficiency and environmental pollution are the causes of hearing loss. Due to a genetic disorder, some children may be born with hearing loss.
They can be diagnosed through genetic tests. Although some people have genetic problems, they remain undetected. However, when taking medicine for another disease or due to environmental noise pollution, ear nerve damage caused by excessive noise or genetic defect, the person concerned may experience permanent hearing loss. Infections Colds and sinus problems can cause viral ear infections in children.
Infections in the nose and sinuses can travel through the Eustachian tube, which connects the ear to the nose, and cause infections in the middle ear. This causes earache, pus drainage etc. in children. It can be caused by bacterial infections. It can also happen to adults. Fungal infection can occur due to fungal infection in the outer ear. The reasons for this are impure water getting inside the ear and cleaning the ear with Budswat. Diabetics can get ear infections.
There are differences in infection between non-diabetics and diabetics. But diabetics should be very careful if they get an infection. Infection of the bone between the ear and the brain (Skull Base Osteomyelitis) can be life-threatening.
Therefore, it is better for them to consult a doctor immediately and get treatment. Why is the pus draining? The pus draining is not visible and may be due to the infection. There are two types of non-vibrating pus drainage. “
Safe” (Safe), “Unsafe” (Unsafe). A hole in the eardrum can be caused by cleaning the ear in SAFE, a punctured eardrum, a middle ear infection, or being hit (even slapped on a flat ear). Abscess can occur when a tympanic membrane tumor affects the wall bones of the ear and the three smaller bones. If the bone between the ear and the brain gets affected due to this, it is called “unsafe”.
In this case, there is a small amount of pus with an odor. Sometimes there is a possibility of pus mixed with blood. Therefore, you should consult a doctor and get treatment immediately. Ear problem symptoms and tests It is only when there is blockage in the ear that a person will know that he has an ear problem. Symptoms of ear problems include ear blockage, earache, ear discharge, ringing in the ear. Hearing impaired people speak louder. In public places where there is a lot of noise, they have difficulty hearing. “What did you talk about?” They ask that once or twice. This can also cause them to become depressed. Elderly people tend to withdraw from society. People with this problem should consult a doctor and get an audiometry test. Through that, we need to find out what kind of problem it is and treat it accordingly. We will refer to this as `Tinnitus’.
People who are more affected by this will suffer from depression and sleeplessness. It is better for them to consult a doctor immediately. Similarly, many people do not know that dizziness is also related to the ear. Dizziness may occur alone or with other symptoms including hearing loss, ear blockage, vomiting, and gurgling noises. The problems can be fixed by doing special tests for this.
Cochlear Implant A surgery called Cochlear Implant provides a permanent solution to nerve-related hearing loss. This device can be fitted to children over one year of age and adults with hearing loss. It can also be applied to people with nerve related problems in only one ear. Due to this, affected children will get hearing and speaking skills. ‘Cochlear implant’ can provide rehabilitation to the elderly who are deaf and hard of hearing.
