Summary
Sudden onset sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is a rare but serious complication of COVID-19. Early steroid treatment is crucial for hearing recovery in these patients.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Infectious Diseases
- Neurology
Background:
- Sudden onset sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is a common otolaryngologic emergency.
- Viral infections are the most suspected cause of SSNHL.
- Few cases of SSNHL following COVID-19 have been reported globally.

When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

In humans, the photoreceptor cells of the eye and sensory hair cells of the ear lack stem cells. These cells are thus unrenewable and cannot be replaced when they are damaged or destroyed.
Photoreceptors
The retina is composed of several layers and contains specialized cells called photoreceptors. The photoreceptors (rods and cones) change their membrane potential when stimulated by light energy. There are two types of photoreceptors—rods and cones—which differ in the shape of...
