Abstract |
Aims |
To investigate the self-reported audiological symptoms in a cohort of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients and monitor improvement or recovery.
Material and methods |
Following the STROBE guidelines for observational studies, a retrospective questionnaire concerning audio-vestibular symptoms was conducted in a cohort of Danish COVID-19 patients with self reported chemosensory loss. Data regarding demographics, symptoms onset, duration and remission was registered in a REDCap database.
Results |
Of the 225 respondents with chemosensory loss, 59 (26.2%) reported concomitant hearing loss (10.7%) or tinnitus (16.4%). In a follow-up questionnaire focused on ear-symptoms, severity, and duration (n=31), 17 reported hearing loss and 21 reported tinnitus. Debut of hearing loss and tinnitus were on average 10 and 30 days respectively, after onset of initial symptoms. Among the hearing loss patients, only two patients experienced full recovery, whereas 15 had partial or no recovery after on average 266 days from COVID-19 symptom onset. Among the tinnitus patients, 7/21 had full recovery, while 14 had partial or no recovery after on average 259 days from COVID-19 symptom onset.
Conclusion |
In a large Danish cohort of COVID-19 patients, a significant proportion experienced concomitant audiological symptoms which seem long lasting and with negative impact on quality of life. This study warrants further investigation of the association between COVID-19 and audio-vestibular symptoms, and the need for rehabilitation among convalescents.
