Covid-19 and audio-vestibular system: A systematic review

Year 2020, Volume: 1 Issue: Covid-19 Özel, 33 - 40, 07.10.2020

Abstract

Audio-vestibular symptoms were noted in some covid-19 patients. In this review study, audio-vestibular symptoms associated with Covid-19 were investigated. Studies on Covid-19 and audio-vestibular system from Pubmed and Google Scholar electronic databases were reviewed. These studies were discussed under 2 titles as “hearing” and “dizziness”. It has been confirmed by studies in the literature that patients with Covid-19 may have symptoms such as hearing loss, tinnitus and dizziness, with mostly minor symptoms. These symptoms are generally in the form of sensorinoral hearing loss. Symptoms of tinnitus and dizziness have been reported less frequently. Further studies with objective tests are needed to understand the effect of Covid-19 on the audio-vestibular system.

Covid-19 ve odyo-vestibüler sistem: Sistematik derleme

Abstract

Bazı covid-19 hastalarında odyo-vestibuler semptomlar belirtilmiştir. Bu derleme çalışmasında, Covid-19 ile ilişkili odyo-vestibüler semptomlar araştırılmıştır. Pubmed ve Google Akademik elektronik veri tabanlarından Covid-19 ve odyo-vestibular sistem ile ilgili çalışmalar incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmalar ‘işitme’ ve ‘baş dönmesi’ olmak üzere 2 başlık altında tartışılmıştır. Covid-19'lu hastalarda, çoğunlukla hafif düzeyde olmakla birlikte işitme kaybı, tinnitus ve dizziness gibi semptomların olabileceği literatürdeki çalışmalar ile doğrulanmıştır. Bu semptomlar genel olarak sensörinoral işitme kaybı şeklindedir. Tinnitus ve dizziness semptomları ise daha az bildirilmiştir. Covid-19’un odyo-vestibüler sisteme olan etkisini anlamak için objektif testlerle yapılan daha fazla çalışmaya ihtiyaç vardır.
