Specialists want adult corks to be included in guangdong health care, benefiting more people
On 3 march, the 26th national day of ears, which coincided with the fall of the cochlear snail two days ago, the average price fell from around $200,000 to around $50,000. This initiative has given new hope to a large number of deaf people, and hearing “protection war” has once again become a hot spot for public attention。
Yesterday morning, the yuen hospital of the university of south medical sciences held an el-journ medical clinic and a general science course, which was attended by a large number of citizens. Journalists were informed that the theme of ear day this year is “healthy listening, without prejudice to communication”, but how to listen to “single voice”, communicate “sweet and smooth” and learn a great deal from inside and outside small ears。

There's been a sharp drop in the price of cochlear
“come in line early in the morning to put on a free expert and to come to the consultant for an implant”. Mr. Lee's son suffers from congenital hearing impairments and has longed to be able to undergo an implantation operation, but the family has been hesitant because of the cost。
Journalists have learned that the gathering of cochlears, which is a high expectation for families with children, was officially implemented in guangdong on 1 march. Previously, the cost of a cochlear was around $200,000, which was undoubtedly a heavy burden for ordinary families. Now, the cochlear is down to around $50,000. This huge price gap has given more deaf people the opportunity to undergo an implantation procedure and to embrace the sound world again。
According to zhang hong, the head of the ears, nasal and throat cervical surgery centre, director of ears and medical doctors of the university of southern medicine, the landing of cochlear is a major achievement in the area of medical care. It will greatly improve the accessibility of cochlears and enable more people with hearing impairment to benefit from modern medical technology and improve their quality of life。
“not just prices. The product entering the collection was a new type with excellent performance and compatibility with mri, which was unimaginable in the past.” according to zhang hongxiang, people have been admitted to hospital in recent days to undergo surgery, and there have been many consultations, especially among adults。
At present, 220 million people are known to have hearing impairments, 70 million of them persons with hearing disabilities. According to zhang hong, the willingness of adults, especially older persons, to opt for the implantation of a cochlear into their hearing will increase as a result of this gathering. However, unlike children, adult cochlears have not yet been included in health insurance in guangdong province, that is to say, adult implants can only cover the costs of surgery and hospitalization, and the cost of equipment is self-funded. “we are also exploring with the relevant departments how to increase the number of patients receiving assistance, which would undoubtedly benefit more if adult cochlears were included in health insurance.”
Early warning of the crisis. There's a surge in the number of young people with “stolen” hearing
Newborn hearing screening, which is being promoted by the state policy, is increasing, and the vast majority of hearing-impaired children are detected and treated at an early stage, with significant results. Zhang hong yi confirmed that adults who have been consulted in recent years have become “major forces” and that “more than half of our hospital patients are adults”. He explained that adult patients, especially young people, were not born in the first place, but persons with acquired hearing impairments, including sudden deafness and medication, noise and unknown causes of hearing impairment。
Ms. Chen is a mid-level director of a company, uploading a communication habit of using headphones to avoid “noise”, combined with the constant insomnia of the stress of her work and the sudden alarm of a “sudden loss” of one-sided hearing at the beginning of last year. “for more than a year, a lot of treatment has been tried, and 75% of hearing has been recovered.” she told reporters that it was only during the treatment that she realized that the inappropriate use of headphones, the lateness of the night, the stress of stress, could cause damage to hearing, and that “it is important to remind those who love headset calls to change, change, change!”
Zhang is reminded that hearing issues require attention at different ages. “young people like to listen to music, play games, follow dramas, especially when they wear headphones and videos on the subway using commuting hours. It is a matter of particular concern to young people that such actions also damage hearing.” he also pointed out that in the area of ear hygiene, young people were more willing to try street ear mining or similar experiences, which could also trigger exterior ear tractitis or damage the drumming, which in turn caused hearing impairment。
Headphones? In fact, the use of headphones is within control if they follow three “60” principles — less than 60 per cent of the maximum volume of sound, the continuous wearing of headphones does not exceed 60 minutes, the background noise (the surrounding environment noise) does not exceed 60 minutes。
Experts reminded that the sound of the ear was a deaf early warning, especially in the middle of the night, and that immediate medical screening was recommended in the event of persistent or intermittent soundings, electrical currents, thunders, etc. In the presence of impatience, dizziness and strangulation. Seventy-two hours after sudden deafness is a “golden period” of treatment, and the longer it is put on hold, the less likely it is to recover, the more difficult it is to receive aftercare, and even the consequences of permanent hearing loss。
This may have something to do with the ear
Hearing decline is not without signs, and when some early warning signals are sent by the body, it is essential that adequate attention be given to prompt medical treatment. The experts noted that common symptoms of hearing loss include the sounding of the ears, i. E. The noises in the ears, noises, etc.; the vagueness of hearing and the lack of understanding of what others are talking about; the reduced sensitivity of the sound, which requires a great deal of attention to television, music, etc.; and a marked decrease in hearing in the noise environment。
If these symptoms occur, they should be examined in a timely manner. Doctors usually conduct a comprehensive assessment of the hearing condition by means of pure sound testing, endoscope examination, etc., and develop appropriate treatment programmes according to the circumstances. In addition, the expert reminded that in daily life care should be taken to protect the ears from trauma. For example, do not pull ears at will, so as not to damage ear tracts and drumms; while swimming and bathing, be careful not to get ears into water and avoid inflammation。
67-year-old aunt chen had repeated dizziness, stunned his ears and snorting at the hong kong red cross hospital. The larynx and cervical surgery was diagnosed as a reduction in the function of the front court and a post-circle ischaemic. "most of the dizziness-related diseases are related to the ear." the deputy head of the cervical surgical section of the college told the press that earstone disease, ex-court neurological inflammation, sudden deafness with dizziness, and menier disease all caused dizziness。
In order to accurately assess the causes of the disease, the hospital uses a pre-court functional examination to analyse eyeball anomalies in patients and to determine whether dizziness originates from ear problems through special glasses. “vr rehabilitation is based on the principle of ex ante-eye reflection and trains patients in balancing capabilities through a controlled virtual environment.” it is understood that vr ex-court rehabilitation, as an emerging means of treatment in recent years, will gradually enable patients to recover their balanced function, free from the sound of their ears and truly achieve “healthy listening, without hindrance to communication”, through accurate, safe and interesting rehabilitation training。
“some people think it's a small thing to get sick or get dizzy, but if the dizziness is frequent, they need to be treated in a timely manner.” experts remind that ears not only affect hearing, but may also reflect the state of cerebrovascular health, especially when the aberration of the frontal function may be an early signal of cerebrovascular problems, requiring early intervention。
The guardian of hearings, the voice-seeker lights hope for children in distress
The spectrum spectrum public interest project plays an important role in actions aimed at hearing health. The public interest assistance project for “speakers” was launched in december 2020 by the southern medical university's joojiang hospital in collaboration with the guangdong association for the promotion of solidarity and solo studies. The project, which mainly assists low-income families, children and adolescents with severe and above sensory neurodeficiency implants, receives 30,000 yuan per applicant, mainly for the cost of implantation during patient treatment. Since its inception, the project has assisted more than 40 children with hearing difficulties who have successfully completed the procedure for implantation with a cochlear implant, the youngest being only 2 years old。
According to the world health organization (who), about 34 million children worldwide suffer from hearing impairments. Every year, some 20,000 to 30,000 newborns in our country find severe to extreme hearing impairments, 60 per cent of which are preventable and avoidable。
In order to ensure the effectiveness of the assistance, the “scientific” public benefit project provides not only support for the cost of surgery but also post-operative rehabilitation training and psychological support for the child。
“we want to make it possible for hearing-impaired children of more difficult families to hear and feel the good of the world through the `speaker' public goods project. At the same time, all sectors of society are called upon to focus on hearing health and to work together to create a more inclusive and friendly social environment for the deaf.” according to zhang hong, although the cost of cochlearing can significantly reduce the cost of cochlearing, there are still individual children in need who need social assistance or help to gain faster access to hearing, good learning and work skills. “the `showers' public goods project will continue, and i believe it will be of great help to children in need.”
