UNASSIGNED: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted using data obtained from clinical charts, physical examination, audiometry, and distortion product otoacoustic emission on 40 patients [case patients (CP)] recovering from SARS-CoV-2 infection diagnosed by a positive RT-PCR test and 22 asymptomatic participants with a negative RT-PCR test [non-case (NC)].
UNASSIGNED: Sixty-two patients (mean age: 31.1 and 28.2 years in the CP and NC groups, respectively) were included. All participants were young without significant comorbidities, risk factors for hearing loss or otological history. Vertigo (5%), tinnitus (17.5%) and aural fullness/hearing loss (35%) were found in the CP group. A statistically significant difference was found in specific frequencies (1000, 4000, and 8000 Hz) and pure tone average (low and high conversational frequencies with increased threshold in the PC group compared with the NC group), which was not found in distortion product otoacoustic emission.
UNASSIGNED: Audiovestibular symptoms are frequent in symptomatic patients recovering from SARS-CoV-2 infection. SARS-CoV-2 infection was consistently associated with an increased audiometric hearing threshold at specific frequencies and low tone average.
■使用从临床图表获得的数据进行了分析性横断面研究,体检,测听法,通过RT-PCR检测阳性诊断为SARS-CoV-2感染恢复的40例患者[病例患者(CP)]和RT-PCR检测阴性的22例无症状参与者[非病例(NC)]。
■62名患者(CP和NC组的平均年龄:31.1和28.2岁,分别)包括在内。所有参与者都很年轻,没有明显的合并症,听力损失或耳科病史的危险因素。眩晕(5%)在CP组中发现耳鸣(17.5%)和听觉丰满/听力损失(35%)。在特定频率(1000、4000和8000Hz)和纯音平均值(PC组的低和高会话频率与NC组相比阈值增加)上发现了统计学上的显着差异,在畸变产物耳声发射中未发现。
■从SARS-CoV-2感染中恢复的有症状的患者经常出现前庭受试症状。SARS-CoV-2感染始终与特定频率和低音调平均听力阈值的增加有关。
