Abstract

The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus was considered a global pandemic and a major public health problem worldwide. It is well established that the disease may be asymptomatic or may range from mild to very severe symptoms. While COVID-19 infections primarily affect the respiratory system, numerous biological systems are impacted by COVID-19. Studies showed that patients who test positive for COVID-19 may have auditory affection. In order to improve these patients' quality of life following COVID-19, it is imperative to assess their hearing using objective methods for early diagnosis. In the current study high frequency audiometry (HFA), distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) and transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) were used to assess auditory status after covid 19 infection.

The Aim:
The aim of this work was to study the effect of covid 19 on auditory system by using HFA, DPOAE & TEOAE.
