“The prevalence of hearing loss in post-COVID-19 patients with audiological symptoms is 38% in this study. The degree of hearing loss and type of hearing loss in post-COVID-19 patients with audiological symptoms ranges from mild to predominantly sensorineural anacusis as the degree of hearing loss increases. The prevalence of sudden sensorineural hearing loss in post-COVID-19 patients with audiological symptoms in this study is 8.5%. “

“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]. “

“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."

Assessment of hearing loss is of utmost importance to safeguard the cochlear function and prevent the progressive deterioration of cochlear hair cells [13, 14]. High frequency hearing loss and referred OAE was noted among significant number of COVID 19 positive patients in our case series.”

“CONCLUSIONS: We found that 30 (40.5%) of the COVID-19 positive patients had sensorineural type of hearing loss. Across all age groups, there were statistically significant differences in frequencies between the COVID-19 positive patients and the control group. There were no significant differences in distributions of comorbidities between the patients with hearing loss and normal hearing patients.”

8-30% of people with COVID-19 report spinning vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, and gait disturbance, sometimes with tinnitus or hearing loss.

COVID-19, like other lung infections, may cause labyrinthitis and vestibular neuritis, leading to these symptoms.
