We encourage SARS‐CoV‐2 polymerase chain reaction in the diagnostic workup of patients currently presenting with sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

This report describes the case of a 53-year-old man with SARS-CoV-2 infection and occurrence of complete unilateral sensorineural hearing loss, adding new evidence to the association between COVID-19 and hearing loss. Whether this is the result of endothelial cell dysfunction in the cochlea or central auditory pathways remains unclear.
