00:00This is it, brothers and sisters.

00:01Now, Eyes, Ears, Nose, and Throat Consciousness Week.

00:05We pay attention to the health of our eyes, ears, nose, and throat.

00:10One of the things that is often overlooked, but important, is taking care of our skin.

00:16Correct.

00:17We will interview Dr. Franco Louis Aves,

00:21an otorhinolaryngologist, to talk about how to keep our ears healthy and avoid the usual problems with hearing.

00:36Good morning, Dr. Franco.

00:38Good morning, Doc.

00:39Hello, good morning.

00:41Good morning, Mr. President, and good morning to our viewers.

00:51Dr. Franco, let's start with hearing loss.

00:56What is the usual sign of hearing loss?

01:01Okay, what we usually see, especially in the elderly, is our age-related hearing loss, or presbycosis.

01:12This is the loss of hearing while we are getting older.

01:15This is a natural occurrence.

01:17Anybody above 40 years old will eventually lose their hearing and lose their hearing,

01:22just like the loss of our eyes.

01:25Sometimes, the reason for the loss of hearing is because of the long exposure to noise.

01:32Sometimes, there are acquired causes, such as hearing loss.

01:41Our children are predisposed to having fluid in their ears because their faces are smaller.

01:49Sometimes, there are children who are born with hearing loss.

01:56This is what we usually see.

01:58Doc, there are different types of hearing loss.

02:02What is the difference between conductive hearing loss and sensor-neutral hearing loss?

02:12How can we avoid this?

02:17Okay, so when we say conductive hearing loss,

02:21this is the loss of conduction of sound in our ears.

02:25Our ears are made out of the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear.

02:30Conductive hearing loss involves the outer ear and the middle ear.

02:36The middle ear is the part of the ear that is connected to the eardrum and the middle ear.

02:43The inner ear is what we call cochlea, or the microphone.

02:47When external ear and middle ear are involved,

02:50such as the eardrums and gums,

02:53this is what we call conductive hearing loss.

02:55If we have hearing loss, it is because of that.

02:58Now, sensory-neutral hearing loss is when our inner ear mechanism,

03:04or cochlea, the microphone,

03:07converts mechanical signals, electrical energy, and interprets our brains.

03:14This is sensory-neutral hearing loss.

03:17This is similar to what I mentioned earlier,

03:20presbycosis, or age-related hearing loss,

03:23or noise-inducing hearing loss.

03:27Well, Dr. Franco, how can we know if we have a hearing problem?

03:34What are the signs of this?

03:37This is very common in us, especially in our elderly population,

03:43who have difficulty hearing.

03:45The signs of this are that they have difficulty communicating.

03:51They cannot understand our sentences, especially in noisy environments,

03:59especially if the hearing is uneven on the left and right.

04:03You will have difficulties in sound localization.

04:06You don't know where the sounds are coming from,

04:08like the sounds of an ambulance.

04:11Or sometimes, our hearing is noisy.

04:13Sometimes, we are at the market, and there is a conversation,

04:16and there is a lot of background noise,

04:19like in the market, supermarket, or even in the church,

04:22there is a lot of reverberation of sounds.

04:25It is difficult for our brain to process if our hearing is uneven.

04:30Most of the time, there are communication difficulties,

04:33and sometimes, our ears are deaf, especially in the elderly.

04:38This could be a sign that our hearing is weakening,

04:43be it for long-term or short-term.

04:45Tinnitus or deafness is a very common complaint among our patients

04:51who have a weak hearing.

04:53Doc, is there a possible effect on our hearing

04:56if we use earphones for a long time,

04:59or if we use loud sounds?

05:04Yes.

05:04Anyway, our ears receive energy in the form of sound.

05:12When we use our earphones,

05:15especially these days,

05:17it is very popular among young people to use in-ears.

05:21We use earphones or headphones,

05:24especially with modern music.

05:25There are a lot of bass sounds.

05:26It is very loud.

05:28So, in general, when we hear above 80 decibels,

05:35our predisposition for hearing loss is higher.

05:40If we hear for a long time, 80 decibels,

05:42and for 8 hours continuously,

05:46our predisposition for hearing loss is higher.

05:49So, 80 decibels.

05:50Usually, we hear those sounds day-to-day,

05:53even hair dryers, car horns,

05:56or even heavy traffic that is above 80 decibels.

05:59So, if we are exposed for more than 8 hours,

06:03our predisposition for hearing loss is higher.

06:07When we use our earphones,

06:11the general rule is that

06:13to avoid hearing loss due to overuse using earphones or headphones,

06:19the energy or volume we use should be less than 60%,

06:25and less than 60 minutes at a time.

06:29Alright, RRSP,

06:31with proper care of our ears,

06:33we can avoid hearing problems.

06:36Thank you very much, Dr. Franklin Luis Aves,

06:38for answering our medical questions.

06:40Thank you very much, sir.

06:42Thank you very much, too.

06:44Good morning to all of you.
