Cochlear Function in Adults Exposed to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2

Conclusion: There is no cochlear dysfunction discovered by OAE and TEN in SARS-CoV-2-affected individuals. Nonetheless, the increase in hearing thresholds at higher frequencies, other than the pure-tone average frequencies detected by TEN, and the decrease in the presence of detected OAE could be related to deterioration in the basal part of the cochlea.Audiol Neurotol
