What should young people do if they develop sensorineural hearing loss?

Young people with sensorineural hearing loss can be treated through medications, wearing hearing aids, cochlear implantation, and other methods.

1. Medications

If the sensorineural hearing loss is acute and involves isolated sensorineural hearing decline, it is recommended to take medications such as oryzanol tablets, vitamin B1, and dexamethasone tablets under a doctor's guidance to nourish the nerves, dilate inner ear blood vessels, and improve hearing. It is also important to avoid noisy environments in daily life.

2. Wearing Hearing Aids

For patients with long-standing sensorineural hearing loss who can only hear when others speak loudly, it is necessary to visit a hospital to be fitted with a hearing aid, which amplifies sound and improves hearing ability.

3. Cochlear Implant Surgery

For patients with severe or profound bilateral hearing loss, cochlear implant surgery at a qualified hospital may help improve hearing after thorough evaluation, allowing partial restoration of hearing function.

Additionally, if the above treatments are ineffective, auditory brainstem implantation may be another treatment option.
