Deafness Senile

What is senile deafness?

Senile deafness is age-related hearing loss. Today, senile hearing loss is a disease in which the patient’s hearing abilities may deteriorate, but not always. After diagnosis, it is possible to adjust the functioning of the hearing organs to maximize the patient’s functionality. Moreover, modern research allows patients to hear better and fully interact with the environment. As we age, our hearing deteriorates due to wear and tear on our communication systems. In this case, it is medical care that will allow the patient to prolong life, improve well-being and maintain independence.

History of the occurrence of senile deafness The term “senile blindness” (middle-aged migraine, and also, in another version, the same disease, but having other names, for example, “rabbit’s foot”, “headache”) was first introduced in the second half of the 19th century century. But this and other forms of diseases are very rare. Slowly developing partial vision loss is usually detected mainly in middle or old age. Often multiple or concentric spots are detected, changes in the field of view: a decrease in the amount of light arriving in a straight line from the object (parallax, “bending”, “halo” effects). Quite often, there is damage to various parts of the retina with disturbances in the central visual field.\n\nRecent studies have revealed that the destruction of nerve cells is promoted by two processes: dysfunction of the cerebral part of the reflex arc and the development of a pathological process in the retina, which then spreads to the optic nerve, both along its length and in the visual areas of the brain. Scientists have found that the destruction of nerve fibers may be caused by an autoimmune process. This discovery made it possible to create new drugs that help slow down the process of destruction of the hairs of the photosensitive layer of the retina.\n\nThe cause of hearing loss is the age of a person’s life. Most people never experience this phenomenon because people who emerge from infancy or childhood do not have significant hearing function.\n\nAge-related changes within the auditory nerve begin to occur as early as adolescence and become critical in old age. There may be slight hearing loss or loss of sensitivity to high-frequency sounds and high-frequency sounds.\n\nHowever, as we age, our hearing abilities begin to decline. This process occurs in the form of deterioration of our hearing functions, which can be subject to senile blindness. We call wear and tear and deterioration of hearing functions during the aging process senile hearing loss and senile hearing loss. (Deafness). These conditions can be reversed, thanks to medical correction, in some cases, so that patients can continue to hear normally until the last days of life. This can be achieved through the introduction of either a permanent implant for each ear or a hearing aid, or at least one hearing aid.
