“…Basoz et al stated that both the emission and suppression results were lower in a study group with a history of COVID-19, especially at high frequencies 19 . In another study evaluating the efferent system in adults after COVID-19, a decrease was observed at 6 kHz according to the DPOAE results, and at all frequencies according to the contralateral suppression results in the study group 20 . In addition, studies have been conducted in pediatric groups.…”

“…When the participants of studies on COVID-19 and suppression are examined in the literature, it is observed that a control group is generally used. The authors compared the test results of the participants with and without a history of COVID-19 19,20 . In our study, pre-and post-COVID-19 measurements of the same participants were compared.…”

“…Participants with a history of COVID-19 had lower suppression values at all tested frequencies. 20 The effects of COVID-19 on the efferent systems in children and infants were examined using a similar study design, and similar results were obtained in adults. [21][22][23] However, all of these studies were performed by comparing individuals with a history of COVID-19 with a control group consisting of healthy individuals without a history of COVID-19.…”

Background: It was evaluated the effects of COVID-19 on the cochlea and auditory efferent system with Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emission (TEOAE) and Contralateral Suppression (CS) Test in this research. Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the pre- and post-COVID-19 Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emission and Contralateral Suppression results in the same participants to reveal the effect of COVID-19 on the efferent auditory system. Study Design: The CS measurement was performed twice for each participant before a diagnosis of COVID-19 and after treatment of COVID-19 as a within-subjects study design. All participants had normal hearing at all frequencies (≤ 25 dB HL at 0.25 – 8 kHz) and had normal middle ear functions in both ears. The tests were performed in the linear mod by using double-probe on the Otodynamics ILO292-II device. The CS of the OAEs was measured at 65 dB peSPL TEOAE stimulus and 65 dB SPL broadband noise. All parameters including reproducibility, noise, and stability were considered during the measurements. Study Samples: The study included 11 patients [8 female and 3 male] aged between 20 and 35 years (mean age is 26 ± 3.66). Data Collection and Analysis: Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test and Spearman's correlation test were used for statistical analysis via Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0. Results: The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test showed that there was no significant difference between the pre-and post-COVID-19 TEOAE CS results in all tested frequencies and measurement parameters, 1000 Hz to 4000 Hz, respectively Z= -0.356, -0.089, -0.533, -0.533, -1.156 and p<0.05. Although not statistically significant, the CS results obtained post-COVID-19 at all frequencies except 4000 Hz were lower than that pre- COVID-19. According to the overall TEOAE results after COVID-19, a statistically significant decrease was observed at 3000 Hz (Z=-2.847, p<0.01) and 4000 Hz (Z=-2.401, p<0.05) compared to the pre-measurement. Conclusions: The study findings show that SARS-CoV-2 can affect the cochlea and the auditory efferent system in adults. Post-COVID-19 audiological evaluation can also be considered part of the general medical examination.

Objective This study aimed to compare the peripheral-to-central auditory systems of people with coronavirus disease 2019 to a well-matched control group and examine the long-term effects of coronavirus disease 2019 on the auditory system. Method Participants who were outpatients of coronavirus disease 2019 (n = 30) were compared with a well-matched control group (n = 30). Behavioural and electrophysiological tests were performed, and tests were repeated at six months in the coronavirus disease 2019 group. Results Statistically significant differences were observed in the right ear at 10 kHz (p = 0.007) and 12.5 kHz (p = 0.028), and in the left ear at 10 kHz (p = 0.040) and 12.5 kHz (p = 0.040) between groups. The groups had no difference regarding the other audiological test results (p > 0.05). Conclusion Extended high-frequency thresholds were affected in the coronavirus disease 2019 patients. No other findings indicated that the peripheral-to-central auditory system was affected. The effect on extended high-frequency thresholds appeared permanent, but no clinically significant new, late-onset auditory system effects were observed.
