Patient's question:
Around the age of two, hearing loss was discovered. I visited Zhongshan Fifth People's Hospital in Zhuhai and Children's Hospital in Guangzhou for examinations, where the results showed 90 dB in the left ear and 70 dB in the right ear, accompanied by sinusitis.Doctor's answer:
(1) Treatment1. Primary treatment: For patients with otitis media complicated by labyrinthitis, antibiotics and surgical treatment should be applied; for deafness caused by pontocerebellar angle tumors, surgical treatment should be performed; for deafness caused by drug toxicity, medication should be immediately discontinued. It is best to avoid intrathecal, intraventricular, or cisternal injections of drugs such as gentamicin and streptomycin.
2. Medication treatment: Currently, there is a lack of drugs with proven efficacy. B vitamins, vasodilators (nicotinic acid, hydralazine, calcium channel blockers, etc.) should be administered appropriately based on clinical conditions.
3. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be attempted when necessary.
4. Others: Acupuncture also has a certain therapeutic effect; wearing hearing aids can improve the patient's hearing condition.
