As part of our informative series “Elderly Care,” we recently recorded a special programme with Dr. Pankaj Kumar, Associate Professor & Senior Specialist (ENT) at Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar Medical College & Hospital, Rohini. In this insightful session, Dr. Kumar shares his expertise on Age-Related Hearing Loss, a condition that affects a large number of elderly individuals but often goes unnoticed or untreated.
The discussion covers:
1. Causes of Age-Related Hearing Loss – from natural ageing processes to environmental and lifestyle factors.
2. Common Symptoms – how to identify early signs like difficulty in following conversations, frequently increasing TV volume, or withdrawal from social interactions.
3. Management & Treatment Options – including medical interventions, use of hearing aids, and latest treatment approaches in ENT care.
4. Prevention Tips – practical advice on ear protection, regular check-ups, and lifestyle habits that can reduce risk.
5. Care for the Elderly – guidance for family members and caregivers on how to support seniors with hearing challenges.
This episode is designed to raise awareness and provide solutions for age-related hearing problems, ensuring that our elderly can enjoy a better quality of life with proper care and attention. Stay tuned to our “Elderly Care” series for more expert conversations on health and well-being in senior years.
