I was diagnosed with dacryoadenitis some time ago and have been undergoing treatment. Recently, I've noticed my hearing has become impaired. Could this be related to the dacryoadenitis?

Lacrimal gland inflammation does not cause hearing impairment. Hearing difficulty may result from excessive earwax blocking the external auditory canal, affecting normal sound transmission. Poor blood circulation and inadequate nerve nutrition can also affect hearing. It is recommended to first visit a hospital for a proper diagnosis before starting treatment. In terms of diet, maintain a light and balanced diet and get plenty of rest.
