Alka’s hearing power affected due to Covid effect
Giving information, director Neeraj Mishra said that Alka Yagnik was also a victim of the virus in the initial phase of Covid and the doctor said that due to its effect, she suffered a viral attack due to which her hearing power was affected. The director also quoted the doctor as saying that such Covid-related cases are also seen in other people, where they become victims of such viral attacks.
What causes sensorineural hearing loss?
Due to age, hearing decreases or stops completely. This disease is called presbycusis. In fact, due to age, brain processes are subjected to pressure that leads to hearing deterioration.
Hearing loss can occur suddenly due to head trauma. Its ear cells are destroyed from the inside. This is called the problem of sensorineural deafness.
Diabetes: Diabetes greatly affects the blood circulation of the ear. That is why the problem of sensorineural hearing loss occurs.
High BP: Due to high blood pressure, the blood vessels in the ear have been severely damaged. This leads to a lot of damage to hearing ability.
Viral infection: Ear infections are caused by mumps, measles, rubella, cytomegalovirus (CMV), and herpes simplex virus. This is why the problem of sensorineural hearing loss occurs.
There can be many reasons for “sensorineural hearing loss”. People who use headphones a lot also face this problem. If you use headphones for more than an hour, the risk of these diseases increases significantly.
