45-Year-Old Man Suffers ‘Sudden Irreversible Hearing Loss’ After COVID-19 Infection—Here’s What to Know – Health.com
He’s not the first person to develop hearing loss after having COVID-19—but doctors aren’t yet convinced of a specific connection.
The authors of a new case report are urging doctors to screen COVID-19 patients for sudden hearing loss after a man in the UK lost hearing in one ear soon after recovering from the virus.
The man’s story was published in BMJ Case Reports. According to the report, the unidentified 45-year-old man had asthma and was hospitalized 10 days after he began showing symptoms of COVID-19. He eventually needed to be intubated and was transferred to an intensive care unit “due to high work of breathing.”
