🌀 When sound itself causes dizziness.

Some people may experience vertigo when hearing loud sounds or during physical exertion. This symptom may be related to superior semicircular canal dehiscence, a condition that affects the inner ear and balance.

Because it is little known, the symptoms are often confused with other dizziness causes.

🔎 Investigating the source of vertigo is essential for a correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

🌀 عندما يتسبب الصوت نفسه في الشعور بالدوار.

قد يعاني بعض الأشخاص من الدوار عند سماع أصوات عالية أو أثناء بذل مجهود بدني. وقد تكون هذه الأعراض مرتبطة بانفتاح القناة نصف الدائرية العلوية، وهي حالة تؤثر على الأذن الداخلية والتوازن.

ونظرًا لقلة المعرفة بهذه الحالة، غالبًا ما يتم الخلط بين أعراضها وأسباب الدوار الأخرى.

🔎 يعد تحديد مصدر الدوار أمرًا ضروريًا للتوصل إلى التشخيص الصحيح والعلاج المناسب.

Hearing loss goes far beyond the ear; it directly impacts the brain.

When hearing declines, the brain has to work harder to understand sounds and words, which can lead to mental fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and even social isolation.

Many people do not realize that these signs may be related to hearing, and end up attributing them to attention problems or stress.

🔎 That's why taking care of your hearing also means taking care of your brain health and quality of life. Regular checkups and specialized medical care make all the difference.

لا يقتصر فقدان السمع على الأذن فحسب؛ بل يؤثر بشكل مباشر على الدماغ.

عندما يتدهور السمع، يضطر الدماغ إلى بذل مجهود أكبر لفهم الأصوات والكلمات، مما قد يؤدي إلى إجهاد ذهني وصعوبة في التركيز، بل وحتى العزلة الاجتماعية.

لا يدرك الكثير من الناس أن هذه العلامات قد تكون مرتبطة بالسمع، وينتهي بهم الأمر إلى عزوها إلى مشاكل في الانتباه أو الإجهاد.

🔎 لهذا السبب، فإن العناية بسمعك تعني أيضًا العناية بصحة دماغك ونوعية حياتك. الفحوصات الدورية والرعاية الطبية المتخصصة تحدث فرقًا كبيرًا.

👂 Ear health often goes unnoticed in everyday life. But some simple precautions make a difference: avoid very loud sounds for long periods, do not insert objects into your ears, and seek medical evaluation if you notice any changes.

👉🏻 Ringing in the ears, difficulty understanding conversations, or a constant need to increase the volume may be warning signs.

Taking care of your hearing is taking care of your connection to the world.

👂 غالبًا ما تمر صحة الأذن مرور الكرام في الحياة اليومية. لكن بعض الاحتياطات البسيطة يمكن أن تحدث فرقًا: تجنب الأصوات العالية جدًا لفترات طويلة، ولا تدخل أي أشياء في أذنيك، واطلب تقييمًا طبيًا إذا لاحظت أي تغيرات.

👉🏻 قد يكون طنين الأذن أو صعوبة فهم المحادثات أو الحاجة المستمرة لزيادة مستوى الصوت علامات تحذيرية.

العناية بسمعك هي عناية باتصالك بالعالم.

👂 Hearing loss does not always happen suddenly. In most cases, it develops slowly over time, which is precisely why many people take so long to notice that their hearing is changing.

The brain has a great capacity to adapt. When sounds start to become less clear, it tries to compensate for this difficulty. Thus, people can gradually get used to hearing less without realizing that something is different.

👉🏻 Some signs often appear during this process, such as turning up the volume on the television, frequently asking people to repeat what they said, or having difficulty understanding conversations in noisy environments.

These signs are often attributed to fatigue or distraction. However, they can also indicate progressive hearing loss.

Identifying these signs early is important so that a specialized evaluation can be performed and, when necessary, appropriate treatment can be started.

Taking care of your hearing is also taking care of your quality of life. 🙏🏼

🎵 Did you know? The eardrum vibrates about 1 million times per second when we listen to loud music! 😮

So be careful with the volume: prolonged exposure can cause hearing loss or tinnitus.

💡 Enjoy the music, but protect your ears!

🎵 هل تعلم؟ تهتز طبلة الأذن حوالي مليون مرة في الثانية عندما نستمع إلى الموسيقى الصاخبة! 😮

لذا كن حذراً مع مستوى الصوت: التعرض المطول
يمكن أن يتسبب في فقدان السمع أو طنين الأذن.

💡 استمتع بالموسيقى، ولكن احمي أذنيك!

👂 Did you know that this is the main global date for raising awareness about hearing health?

👉🏻 World Hearing Day was made official by the World Health Organization (WHO) with the aim of alerting the population to deafness prevention and ear care’s importance.

🔎 Hearing loss often happens silently and progressively.

📊 Millions of people around the world live with hearing difficulties, many of which could be prevented with information and proper monitoring.

Taking care of your hearing means:

✔ Avoiding excessive exposure to noise
✔ Not inserting objects into your ears
✔ Seeking medical evaluation at the first sign of change
✔ Getting regular hearing tests

🎯 Hearing well means quality of life, connection, and safety.

On March 3rd, make your hearing a priority.

👂 هل تعلم أن هذا هو اليوم العالمي الرئيسي للتوعية بصحة السمع؟

👉🏻 أعلنت منظمة الصحة العالمية (WHO) عن اليوم العالمي للسمع بهدف تنبيه السكان إلى أهمية الوقاية من الصمم والعناية بالأذن.

🔎 غالبًا ما يحدث فقدان السمع بصمت وبشكل تدريجي.

📊 يعاني ملايين الأشخاص حول العالم من صعوبات في السمع، يمكن الوقاية من الكثير منها من خلال التوعية والمراقبة المناسبة.

العناية بسمعك تعني:

✔ تجنب التعرض المفرط للضوضاء
✔ عدم إدخال أشياء في أذنيك
✔ طلب التقييم الطبي عند ظهور أول علامة على التغيير
✔ إجراء اختبارات سمع منتظمة

🎯 السمع الجيد يعني جودة الحياة والتواصل والأمان.

في 3 مارس، اجعل سمعك أولوية.

📌 There are implants that “bypass” the ear canal and transmit sound directly through the bone to the inner ear.

This means that sound does not have to pass through the eardrum in the traditional way.

📌 These devices use what is known as bone conduction a technology that may be recommended when there are changes in the ear canal or middle ear.

📌 In many cases, they help improve:

✔ Perception of sound direction

✔ Speech comprehension in noisy environments

✔ A more natural sound sensation

And here’s another important fact:

Not everyone with hearing loss benefits from conventional hearing aids alone. In some situations, hearing implants can offer more effective and comfortable results.

🔎 Each case requires a detailed assessment. The right treatment depends on the type of hearing loss and the patient’s anatomy.

🎯 Information transforms quality of life. And hearing well changes everything.

Frequent episodes of ear infections are often seen as something temporary, but the truth is that they may hide anatomical changes or underlying conditions that require medical evaluation.

⚠️ Ignoring these crises can lead to complications such as:
•Temporary or permanent hearing loss
•Perforation of the eardrum
•Recurrent middle ear infections

💡 If you or your child suffers from frequent ear infections, don't wait for them to go away on their own. An otologist can identify the cause and recommend the right treatment, preventing future problems.

👂 Take care of your hearing and your hearing health

غالبًا ما يُنظر إلى نوبات التهابات الأذن المتكررة على أنها شيء مؤقت، ولكن الحقيقة هي أنها قد تخفي تغيرات تشريحية أو حالات كامنة تتطلب تقييمًا طبيًا.

⚠️ تجاهل هذه الأزمات يمكن أن يؤدي إلى مضاعفات مثل:
•فقدان السمع المؤقت أو الدائم
•ثقب طبلة الأذن
•التهابات متكررة في الأذن الوسطى

💡 إذا كنت أنت أو طفلك تعانيان من التهابات متكررة في الأذن، فلا تنتظر حتى تزول من تلقاء نفسها. يمكن لأخصائي طب الأذن تحديد السبب والتوصية بالعلاج المناسب، مما يمنع حدوث مشاكل في المستقبل.

👂 اعتنِ بسمعك وصحة أذنيك.

Many people learn to live with unusual symptoms, thinking they are “normal” or temporary.

👉🏻 But listening to your body too much, feeling dizziness triggered by sounds, or constant pressure in the head are signs that deserve specialized attention.

When the diagnosis is accurate, so is the treatment. Balance is not just about not falling, it's about quality of life.

يتعلم الكثير من الناس التعايش مع الأعراض غير العادية، معتقدين أنها ”طبيعية“ أو مؤقتة.
👉🏻 لكن الإفراط في الاستماع إلى جسدك، والشعور بالدوار الناجم عن الأصوات، أو الضغط المستمر في الرأس هي علامات تستحق عناية متخصصة.
عندما يكون التشخيص دقيقًا، يكون العلاج دقيقًا أيضًا. التوازن لا يعني فقط عدم السقوط، بل يعني جودة الحياة.

Ramadan is a time of reflection, discipline, and spiritual renewal.

More than fasting, this sacred month represents self-control, gratitude, generosity, and connection — with God, with family, and with the community.

It is a period that invites pause, empathy, and the strengthening of the values that truly matter.

A moment to look inward, cultivate compassion, and practice caring for others.

May this Ramadan be marked by peace, good health, and purpose.

Ramadan Mubarak. 🌙✨
رمضان هو وقت للتأمل والانضباط والتجديد الروحي.

أكثر من الصيام، يمثل هذا الشهر المقدس ضبط النفس والامتنان والكرم والتواصل - مع الله والأسرة والمجتمع.

إنه فترة تدعو إلى التوقف والتعاطف وتعزيز القيم التي تهم حقًا.

إنها لحظة للتأمل الذاتي، وتنمية الرحمة، وممارسة الاهتمام بالآخرين.

نرجو أن يكون رمضان هذا شهرًا يسوده السلام والصحة الجيدة والهدف.

رمضان مبارك. 🌙✨
