One in five people in our country have hearing problems.

Children and young people with such concerns have increased in recent years according to doctors.

This is due to the prolonged use of high-volume headphones, staying or working in noisy environments and negligence in the treatment of ear infections. that give more important problems. The myth that hearing loss is only focused on older people is seen today due to wrong practices such as the use of technology, not using protective measures. Headphones should be kept at 60-70% of their volume, no more than 1-2 hours a day, and we have young people who use them for longer periods of time. they use them at a higher volume, they create hearing problems,” said audiologist Arvenol Meta. According to doctors, around 60% of hearing problems can be prevented and treated, so on World Hearing Day, doctors appeal to seek help before it’s too late. “We often take hearing for granted in the diagnosis, treatment is difficult and impossible. Among the main signs that should alert any person, if they are in a group of people and have difficulty understanding what is being said, we often classify children as inattentive, but maybe they have not listened, if you talk to them and do not respond, they should alert their parents.

If such problems are not treated in time, doctors say that they affect their intellectual development cause social isolation. Meanwhile, recent studies link hearing problems to late-life Alzheimer’s.
