Can Covid-19 coronavirus cause hearing problems even with no other symptoms? Here are what some scientific publications have indicated:
. This publication was certainly more substantive as it detailed a study conducted by M.W.M.Mustafa of the Qena Faculty of Medicine, South Valley University in Egypt. Mustafa administered hearing tests to 20 people who had tested positive for Covid-19. Now twenty isn’t a lot unless you are talking about people in an elevator. But it is certainly more than one. None of the study participants had any other known symptoms from the infection.
Of course, just because you test positive for the Covid-19 coronavirus doesn’t mean that the virus is responsible for everything that you are suffering. So Yong did mentionthat had the following title: “Don’t forget ototoxicity during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic!” It isn’t super common for the title of a scientific publication to have an exclamation point at the end of it.
On the flip side, it wouldn’t be too surprising if the virus were to somehow affect ear function. After all, as Yong pointed out, other viruses such as the herpes simplex virus type 1 , the herpes zoster virus , the cytomegalovirus, the measles virus, and the human immunodeficiency virus can affect the ear and cause ear-related symptoms.
Furthermore, there’s already been growing evidence that the virus seems to know no boundaries, kind of like that guy who will mention his testicles during a a dinner party or a work meeting. Cases have shown that the virus may spread well beyond the respiratory tract into the nervous system. For example, in a, a team from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine , and C. Matthew Stewart, MD, PhD) described how they detected SARS-CoV2 in the mastoid or middle ear of three patients.
Nevertheless, any possibility of hearing loss needs to be taken seriously. Hearing loss is already of significant problem around the world. In the U.S., “approximately one in three people between the ages of 65 and 74 has hearing loss, and nearly half of those older than 75 has difficulty hearing,”
