What are the chances that your child is suffering from hearing loss without you knowing it? Glue ear or otitis media is a condition where the middle ear fills with glue-like fluid instead of air, often seen in children under 4 years old. There is a hearing loss with an average of 20 decibels (dB HL). Since this condition appears to be normal speech in a whisper. When children grow, the probability of glue ear ear decreases however adults also suffer from otitis media and ear infections. The back of the tympanum (the ear drum) is filled with a thick, sticky fluid that causes obstruction in the middle ear and sometimes pressur on the ear drum that causes pain. The movement of the ear bones from the liquid thickness is minimized. This leads to hearing loss. If glue ear is not given proper treatment, it will affect in speech delay in young children and a child's behavior and educational progress due to the simple reason that they cannot hear the world correctly and hence they would interpreted and imitate it badly. Sometimes it can cause permanent damage to the dense yellowish-white fluid behind the eardrum hearing.
The looks like glue, thus the name glue ear. It 'also occurs as chronic otitis media with effusion, or middle ear effusion or secretory otitis known media or ear infections. Causes EarGlue glue ear when there is a problem in the ear trumpet. This tube connects the middle ear to the back of the throat and nose. The middle ear is filled with air that passes through the Eustachian tube on the back of the nose. The tube helps drain the middle ear of fluids.
what can be done to treat ear infections and prevent glue ear
If this tube is blocked or closed it is necessary to open it, the best treatment for opening the tube is the Eardoc.
When the presence of an ear infection, the Eustachian tube swells. This swelling blocks the drainage of the middle ear. As a result, it is proper airflow from the tube on his nose. If this happens, the middle ear builds up pressure that leads to the formation of a dense liquid and paste-like. This fluid fills the middle ear, leading to a partial deafness in children, the eustachian tube is shorter and straighter than in adults and closer to the nose wich leads to infections. This makes them less efficient flow in the ear, leading to a block. Children can be infected with a cold and sore throat in children, the tube is conducting glue ear. And in some children the polyps can be enlarged. This is the opening of the tube, which in turn leads to a process loss. Effects EARA with people suffering from glue ear have ear block is reduced. It will not be complete deafness. Detection of deafness in young children is not easy, because they are not able to speak properly. Opening the tube and refreshing the air would reduce the middle ear infections, if the fluids are not too thick the Eardoc would open the tube in minutes.
These children can not pay attention to others. School children are poor in studies. Want to watch TV with the volume up. In the case of children, there is a delay to be with the speech. The initial stages of glue ear pain be relieved. Children are suffering from this disease plumper than normal. If not discovered in time, lead to a deterioration hearing.
Can be done by taking medication or minor surgery. Glue ear can in three ways: Antibiotics: treatment should be treated with antibiotics, as has been shown to be effective, children with glue ear , antibiotics take time to be effective and over time can cause antibiotic immunity . With the infection, leading to glue ear, the child suffers from pain. Antibiotics are the drugs most prescribed for glue ear. If infection is present and if it is time to end child is treated with a hearing loss.
Myringotomy (Ear-Tubes) is a surgical procedure in which a tiny incision is created in the eardrum, so as to relieve pressure caused by the excessive build-up of fluid, or to drain pus. Myringotomy is often performed as a treatment for otitis media. If a patient requires myringotomy for drainage or ventilation of the middle ear, this generally implies that the Eustachian tube is either partially or completely obstructed and is not able to perform this function in its usual physiologic fashion. Before the invention of antibiotics, myringotomy was the main treatment of severe acute otitis media (middle ear infection).
The tube remains in the ear. Falls by itself once the eardrum closes. When the child has glue ear, make sure the water does not force his eardrum. The child must be ear plugs or cotton coated with vaseline to prevent water in the inner ear.
The EARDOC is an efficient & proved non-invasive device that reduces the ear pain by treating the problem rather than the symptom. The eardoc significantly reduces the need for ear tube surgery (Myringotomy) by naturally opening the closed Ear tube and drying the trapped fluids.
