What natural remedy is good for deafness? from jasprinarose's blog

As otolaryngologists warned at the most recent National Congress of the Spanish Society of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Cancer (SEORL-CCC), we are losing more and more hearing. Excessive exposure to loud noise is the primary cause of the increase in hearing loss or hearing loss among the population, and it increasingly manifests at a young age. And it is true that up to 75% of people living in big cities have some form of hearing loss.

Particularly pertinent to the young population, as over a billion young people worldwide are at danger of developing irreversible hearing loss as a result of harmful listening habits, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). However, a study done in Spain with a sample of 5,000 young individuals between the ages of 16 and 35 found that up to 70% of them acknowledge they won't visit a doctor despite having hearing issues.

For instance, and in accordance with this research from 2021, only one-third of people visit a doctor when they experience ear discomfort, and sixty percent claim they are not concerned about the quality of their hearing and consider it to be an elderly disease. The primary causes of this (for those who don't take care of their hearing health) are: ignorance and lack of awareness (63%), the fact that hearing issues are underappreciated in society (59%), rejection and social stigma (20%), or needing to use hearing aids (13%).

As with anything related to health, prevention is crucial since without it, we run the danger of developing certain diseases or suffering from them already. Consider dementia. The risk of dementia is 42% higher in people with hearing problems, but this increased risk disappears in those who wear hearing aids, according to a recent study of 400,000 people, collected in the United Kingdom Biobank, and published in the scientific journal "The Lancet Public Health." The authors therefore reiterate "the urgent need to introduce hearing aids early when someone begins to experience hearing problems."
