Why do we get “old phone”?

Mohammad Mohseni, a professor of ear, nose and throat diseases, said in an interview with a Fars News Agency health reporter about “old age”: “Old age is a type of hearing disorder that occurs with age and has a large genetic background; This means that you see an 80-year-old person who does not have such a problem, but a 50-year-old person has a hearing problem.

He continued: “A high percentage of this issue depends on genetic factors and a percentage depends on the living conditions of the person in his youth; That is, when people lived in noisy environments.

The professor of ear, nose and throat diseases added: “Basically, in people who live in industrial and crowded environments such as Tehran, the background of this disease is usually more common and occurs faster.”

Mohseni added: “This condition usually starts in the 60s and 65s and above, and in some people it is faster and in some it is slower; So that the person’s hearing is reduced.

“Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent it,” he said. We only advise the patient to take care of crowded environments; Because the only known factor that we can avoid is crowded and noisy places.

The professor of ear, nose and throat diseases said: If a person suffers from hearing loss, he should do an audiometry sooner and if it goes higher, we definitely recommend that the patient should use a hearing aid so that he can communicate with others; Otherwise it leads to Alzheimer’s.
