Medics urged parents to keep kids’ headphone volumes in check during online classes.

 

Doctors in the UAE have recently observed a rise in the number of students complaining about hearing problems, and they believe this could be attributed it to long hours of headphone use in the time of Covid-19.

 
 

The medics have urged parents to keep their kids’ hearing protected as they sit for online classes for hours, with their head sets on. Video chats with friends and relatives, as well as games and entertainment, are other factors that increase children’s reliance on earphones.

An ENT specialist in Dubai warned that listening to headphone audio that is too loud and for too long may result in permanent hearing damage.

“Although there is no obvious statistic report commenting on this, we see that approximately five to 10 per cent of kids are experiencing difficulties due to excessive usage of headphones or ear buds,” said Dr Prashant Sharma, an ENT specialist at Prime Hospital, Dubai.

“Prolonged use of headphones definitely has a detrimental effect on the ears across all ages, especially with kids. They may not be aware that phones also emit electromagnetic radiations with prolonged usage on high volumes and can damage hair cells and lead to sensorineural deafness.”

Dr Sharma added that headset use may also lead to “ear wax and debris entrapment and, because of this, the normal migratory pattern of ear canal skin gets hampered further adding to hearing deficit”.

Dr Shyam Anil Pai, an ENT surgeon specialist at Aster Clinic, Al Nahda, Dubai, said this meant earphone usage could also lead to an increase in ear infections.

“Use of ear phones increases one’s chances of getting ear infections (mainly fungal) as they are placed directly into the ear canals. They block the passage of air and with sweat formation, increases the chances of ear infections and hence affect hearing,” Dr Pai explained.

“If earphones are used at high volumes for prolonged periods and over several days, it can cause tinnitus (ringing sound in ear). There is also the possibility of noise-induced deafness, where the affected person would not be able to hear properly at certain frequencies.”

With the cosmetic surgery gaining currency across the world, there is no dearth of fallacy. Many are aware of the fact that it is quite safe when any seasoned doctor conducts it.

Here everything depended on the safe process. The latest the technology, the safest the surgery.

In an exclusive interview to Gulf Today renowned cosmetic surgeon Dr Samir F. Shureih, hammered in this very fact.

Dr Shureih, who has been practicing cosmetic surgery for the last 38 years, insisted that that ‘no surgery is a small surgery.’

During the interview at the the Raffles Hotel in Dubai he said “every surgery is important he says and no matter how big or small it may seem it needs to be done under utmost care and supervision.”

He stressed on the importance of choosing a board certified doctor to go ahead with any procedure whether big or small.

Dr Shureih went on to clear a few myths about cosmetic surgery that are very common among people. 

Some of them includes how liposuction is chosen to be done only for someone who is obese and huge. Whereas it is ideal to do liposuction only for someone in their ideal body weight.

He also mentioned how any surgery done on someone’s body gives a trauma to the body so we need to give it ample time to recover.

“The original results of the cosmetic surgery can be assessed only after 6 months to a year and not before that as the body takes time to recover,” he said.

Dr Shureih spoke to Gulf Today on the sidelines of Emirates Plastic Congress 2020 being held at the Raffles Hotel from Jan.16-18.

The American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF) hosted a Surveyor Training course in conjunction with the Emirates Plastic Surgery Congress 2020.

 Dr Shureih is very well known and is respected by his peers and patients.

He makes sure he has regular follow up sessions with all his patients to make sure they are doing fine.

He says he will continue to do so for as long as he lives.

With his tireless commitment for medicine and his primary objective being the safety and comfort of his patients, Dr Shureih is undoubtedly one of the finest cosmetic surgeons in the recent times.
