"SARS-CoV-2 virus interacts with inner ear cells like hair cells, nerve fibers, supporting cells and neuron insulators known as Schwann cells ... SARS-CoV-2 virus is capable of infecting the hair cells of the inner ear, as well as the Schwann cells."

Can COVID-19 Cause Hearing Loss?

“Once it gains entry to the ear, the virus can actively infect both the cochlear (hearing) and vestibular (balance) hair cells, potentially causing:

Sensorineural hearing loss. Hearing loss caused by damage to the inner ear or the nerve from the ear to the brain. This type of hearing loss is permanent. Vestibular dysfunction: Problems with balance. In addition, COVID-19 is not just a respiratory disease. It can affect almost all of the major organ systems in the body, including the vascular system.

SARS-CoV-2 infection of the inner ear

SARS-CoV-2 can infect inner ear cells, specifically hair cells and Schwann cells, which are crucial for hearing and balance.

Some COVID-19 patients developed hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo, suggesting a link between the virus and these symptoms.
