Description
Julia Siqueira and co-authors compared hearing in children before and after COVID-19 infection in a 2024 study. Reports during the pandemic linked the virus to ear and balance complaints, but child data were thin. The team tested twenty-three children aged eight to fifteen who had confirmed infection and no prior hearing or school problems.
Their results were set against a matched pre-pandemic group with normal hearing. The battery covered basic and high-frequency hearing, middle ear checks, inner ear responses, brainstem signals, and tests of how the brain sorts competing sounds. The infected group scored worse on hearing thresholds at normal and high frequencies, with more gaps across the battery. The study warns that infection may leave quiet hearing losses in children that standard checks miss.
