“Covid 19 and The Ears - Direct Viral Invasion of Inner Ear Cells

The COVID-19 pandemic has had far-reaching consequences and illness, with emerging evidence suggesting that the virus can also affect the auditory system and cause hearing-related complications. This article explores the potential impact of COVID-19 on hearing, tinnitus, and balance disorders.

  • The SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 can directly infect certain cell types in the inner ear, including hair cells and Schwann cells [1][3][4]. “

Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Patients with Long-COVID-19: Objective and Behavioral Audiometric Findings
“COVID-19 can damage the inner ear as well as the auditory pathway. Hearing loss may be the only symptom of COVID-19 or be a late complication of the disease due to postinfectious inflammation of the nerve tissue as a symptom of long COVID-19. Prolonged conduction of the auditory pathway shows the affinity of the virus to the nervous system as a symptom of long COVID. It is advisable to perform hearing diagnostics in patients after COVID-19 and provide them with specialist care."

How COVID-19 Can Attack the Inner Ear

“New research finds that cells in the ear are susceptible to infection with SARS-CoV-2, causing symptoms that include dizziness, ear ringing, and hearing loss.

Experts say that other viruses may also cause hearing loss, and newborns can be especially at risk.”

“Audio-vestibular consequences of COVID-19 are less reported compared to other symptoms of neurological involvement, such as gustatory or olfactory dysfunction, which have become key indicators aiding in the diagnosis of the infection. Among these disorders, the commonly reported presentation is that of vestibular neuronitis.”
