Apparently, every week, more and more evidence emerges that Covid-19 coronavirus is like a very bad box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.
Well, “listening” is more to consider. Some clinical publications recommend that the virus may have effects on your hearing. In fact, it’simaginable that hearing loss may occur even if you don’t have other symptoms. So you think he escaped without any symptoms of a Covid-19 coronavirus infection, however, that’s really the case?
Take a look at an article on Medium through Shin Jie Yong, who describes himself as “a 20-year postgraduate degree in neurobiology in Malaysia” with the goal of “offering a dog stand.” Although your article does not specify precisely why your current location would possibly have no dogs or how much money it would take to have a doggified location, he indexed some of the evidence that coronavirus 2 of severe acute breathing syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) may have a hearing effect
For example, he quoted a letter published in the American Journal of Otolaryngology. It’s not one of the letters ‘hey, how are you? Instead, these were very, very brief case reports that related to the case of an “old woman” in Thailand who had been diagnosed with Covid-19 and suffered from hearing loss. This letter contained very few main points on the case, adding what the authors considered “old”. Therefore, this letter alone did not provide much evidence and probably deserved a D-less rating.
Earn more than one D less one subsequent publication in the American Journal of Otolaryngology. This publication is actually more extensive because it details an exam conducted through M.W.M. Mustafa of Qena Medical School, South Valley University in Egypt. Mustafa administered hearing tests to 20 other people who tested positive for Covid-19. Now, twenty, it’s not much unless you’re talking about other people in an elevator. But it’s definitely more than one. None of the participants examined had any other known symptoms of the infection. Study participants were between 20 and 50 years old and did not have a history of hearing loss. However, they made a particularly significant decrease than the general decrease in some parts of hearing tests, adding the thresholds of high-frequency natural tone and the amplitudes of brief evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE).
Then, the letter published in Acta Otorhinolaryngologica Italica. This letter is more of a series of instances than a formal study. It describes six patients, aged 22 to 40, who had more typical symptoms of Covid-19, such as fever, cough and shortness of breath, as well as obvious ear-related symptoms. Two had dizziness, one of which was very mild. Four had sound ears. All six had some kind of hearing loss, more than one side.
Of course, the fact that the result is positive for Covid-19 coronavirus does not mean that the virus is guilty of everything it suffers. Yong then discussed a letter published in the International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology that had the name: “Do not grant otopoisonism during the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) pandemic!” It is not very unusual for the name of a clinical publication to have an exclamation mark at the end. However, the letter was intended to warn health care professionals that several medications that attempted to treat severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) coronavirus would possibly have otopoisonousity. While the OTO is supposedly a magical order founded in Germany in 1901 and aimed at sexual magic, in this case, “oto” was rather an ear. Therefore, otopoisonousity means poisonous or can damage the ear. The list of potentially otopoisonic drugs includes chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, remdesivir, favipiravir and lopinavir. For example, can hearing disorders also be the result of taking medications instead of the virus? Maybe.
On the other hand, it would not be too unexpected if the virus has effects on ear service. After all, as Yong noted, other viruses such as herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1), herpes zoster virus (HZV), cytomegalovirus, measles virus and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can have ear effects and cause ears. related symptoms
In addition, evidence is already being developed that the virus appears to know no limits, just like this guy who will mention his testicles at a dinner or a meeting. Cases have shown that the virus can go well beyond airlines to the nervous system. For example, in a study letter published in JAMA Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, a team from Johns Hopkins Medical School (Kaitlyn M. Frazier, MD, Jody E. Hooper, MD, Heba H.Mastafa, MBBCh, PhD, D (ABMM) and C. Matthew Stewart, MD, PhD) described how they detected SARS-CoV2 in the middle ear or in the mastoid (which is adjacent to the middle ear).
In general, the evidence to date only suggests that Covid-19 coronavirus would possibly damage your ears and potentially leave you with hearing loss. More studies will be needed to draw stronger conclusions. Future studies deserve to include more tests and a wider variety of patients, preferably with hearing tests before and after infection. In addition, it is not known how long these effects can last, so following patients for longer periods would provide more information.
However, any hearing loss options should be taken seriously. Hearing loss is already a major challenge in the world. In the United States, “about one in 3 people over 65 to 74 suffer from hearing loss and nearly a portion of others over the age of 75 have hearing difficulties,” according to the National Institute of Aging (NIA). But hearing loss isn’t just a challenge for the elderly. The American Association for Hearing Loss (HLAA) online page states that one in five teens suffers from some degree of hearing loss. If covid-19 coronavirus can really hear it, will this pandemic worsen all those statistics?
The pandemic has already raised new demanding situations for those who already have hearing problems. As Janice S. Lintz, executive director of Hearing Access – Innovations, noted, “Coronavirus prevents other people from reading lips because other people wear face masks. If covirus-19 coronavirus infections accumulate the total number of others with hearing loss, Lintz added that it will “make a bad scenario worse.”
This would make an already complex infection even more complex. This would be additional evidence that an unmarried number, such as deaths or hospitalizations, cannot capture the full effect of Covid-19 coronavirus. It’s not just like a bleed or a flu. Chances are your immune formula has never noticed a virus like this. This means that its framework is a wonderland for the virus, but not in John Mayer’s path. Scientists are quick to perceive what this virus can do within its framework. The rush to reopen prematurely and “return society to normal” (which, on the other hand, will not take place soon) for political and advertising reasons can have serious and lasting consequences. Instead, other people want to pay attention to science. Not paying attention can end up affecting your hearing in several ways.
