One of the painless, odorless, tasteless and invisible diseases is loss of hearing. Even though it is painless, it affects the person mentally and psychologically. Loss of hearing is commonly divided in to three types – conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss and mixed hearing loss. Each of the hearing types has its own degrees of loss. They are categorized as mild loss, moderate loss, severe loss and profound loss.

The prevention steps of hearing loss are different for the different ages of people. This article gives some tips to prevent loss of hearing in children, young adults and older people.

Prevention of Loss of Hearing in Children

Some of the causes of loss of hearing in children are premature birth, the presence of a child in a neonatal intensive care unit, presence of high bilirubin during a blood transfusion, hereditary, complications at birth, and frequent ear infections. Nowadays, in the modern lifestyle community, more babies are born with hearing problems. It is difficult even for the mother to discover if their baby has ear problems. Untreated ear problems may even lead to life-long deafness. So it is very important for babies to have an ear screening test at birth. Most of the ear problems start at the age of three for children, hence regular ear checkups and screening tests are very important.

The autistic disorder is a life lasting neurological disorder involving also the childhood disintegrative disorder, Asperger disorder, Rett disorder and the pervasive development disorder. Autism is registered as one of the five pervasive development disorders and is usually diagnosed around the age of three.

The most important pathological changes caused by autism are communication difficulties, impaired social interaction and restrictive activities; children with autism have generally repetitive activities and interests and most of the other actions specific to children their age represent no real interest to them.

Children suffering from autism are more susceptive to developing epilepsy; they have different degrees of mental retardation and show abnormal responses to different sensor stimulations like light or sound. Some of these patients show an aggressive behavior especially with self-injuring tendencies such as beating themselves or head banging.

There are many things that can cause a face to become red temporarily, such as consumption of alcohol or spicy food, being embarrassed in social situations or having a sensitivity to niacin or mono-sodium glutamate (MSG). However, there are many conditions that can be the cause of more chronic facial redness. This article describes a few of them.

1. Cushing’s Syndrome Cushing’s syndrome is a hormone disorder that is caused by the exposure of the body to too much cortisol (a stress hormone). Cushing’s syndrome is relatively rare, and in addition to redness of the face, includes the following symptoms: high blood pressure, high blood glucose levels, fatigue, irritability, depression and anxiety. Women with Cushing’s syndrome often show signs of increased hair growth on the face, neck, abdomen, chest and thighs.
2. Lupus (SLE, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) Lupus is an autoimmune disease affecting multiple organs and tissues, including the skin, heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, joints, brain and blood. The facial redness that is sometimes associated with lupus is a rash across the cheeks and nose. The facial redness with lupus exists in a butterfly pattern (butterfly rash) and does not involve the forehead. Lupus patients can also have skin rashes on other parts of their body, which often develop or get worse after sun exposure. Lupus is frequently diagnosed by antibody testing.
