Hearing Loss Is a Side Effect of COVID-19

A link has been discovered between COVID-19 infection and sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL). Upto one-third of patients referred to audiologists for SSHL were previously diagnosed with COVID-19. Other studies report an increase in SSHL in those with asymptomatic COVID-19 infection.
