Release time:Jun 25, 2024 09:48 AM

June 24-30 is the sixth "National Senior Health Promotion Week", and the theme of this year's event is "Maintain hearing health and enjoy a happy old age". The "2024 Shanghai Senior Health Promotion Week Theme Event and Shanghai Health Lecture Hall" hosted by Shanghai Municipal Health Commission and Minhang District People's Government and undertaken by Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Shanghai Health Promotion Center and other units reported that 30% of people aged 65 to 75 in my country have varying degrees of hearing loss, and this figure is as high as 50% for people over 75 years old. Hearing impairment is not only a "stumbling block" to the world of sound, but also directly leads to various physical and mental damages such as cognitive decline, dementia, and falls.

Shi Haibo, chief physician of the Sixth Municipal Hospital, conducted a popular science lecture on the theme of "The Harms and Prevention of Deafness". He proposed that compared with treatment, prevention of hearing damage is more meaningful. We should try our best to avoid or reduce the direct and indirect hazards of hearing disability, such as noise, drugs, etc., to reduce the occurrence of hearing disability.

As the aging trend of my country's population continues to intensify, the number of people with pre-existing hearing loss is also increasing. Experts emphasize that the elderly should pay attention to hearing screening, detect and diagnose hearing impairment as early as possible, and improve and enhance hearing through hearing aids and cochlear implants when necessary. Dr. Guo Yanan from Renji Hospital performed a health talk show "Take care of ear health, and the silver age will be more pleasant to hear", and Dr. Yang Peirong and Dr. Zhang Lei from Xinzhuang Community Health Service Center in Minhang District presented a health science sketch "Two Choices, Two Lives", which brought them closer to the audience in a humorous manner.

During the publicity week, the WeChat public account "Healthy Shanghai 12320" will send 20 health reminder text messages to 50,000 mobile phone users across the city to popularize scientific ear use knowledge and health care skills among the elderly and improve the health literacy of our elderly friends.

Appointment letters were also issued to expert representatives of Shanghai's Elderly Psychological Care Action, Elderly Cognitive Impairment Prevention and Treatment Promotion Action, Elderly Oral Health Promotion Action and Elderly Nutrition Improvement Action.

The "Shanghai Patriotic Hygiene and Health Promotion Regulations" were reviewed and approved by the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress and will be officially implemented on November 1 this year.
