Abstract

Amaç
Dünya çapında bilim insanları, COVID-19'dan iyileşen
hastaları takip etmeye devam ediyorlar. Bu hastalarda
gözlemlenen uzun süreli kalıcı semptomları ve kalıcı
hasarları yayınlıyorlar. Bu çalışma, saf ses odyometrisi
kullanılarak ölçülen saf ses ortalamaları temelinde
COVID-19 hastalarında işitme kaybını değerlendirmeyi
amaçladı.
Gereç ve Yöntem
Bu geriye dönük veri analizi çalışmasında, COVID-
19'lu hastaneye yatırılmamış hastaların saf ses
ortalamaları, COVID-19'a yakalanmadan 1 yıl önce
ve sonra karşılaştırıldı. Sürekli değişkenler ortalama
± standart sapma (SD) olarak, kategorik değişkenler
ise sayı (n) ve yüzde (%) olarak sunuldu. Tüm veriler
normal dağılım gösterdi. Bu nedenle, ölçümler arasındaki
anlamlı farklılıkları belirlemek için bir parametrik
test türü olan eşleştirilmiş t testi kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular
Sol ve sağ kulakların kemik ve hava yollarında ölçülen
saf ses ortalamalarına göre, COVID-19 sonrası
hastaların saf ses eşik değerlerinde anlamlı bir artış
bulundu (tümü için p<0,001). COVID-19 öncesi ve
sonrası sol kulak hava yolunun saf ton ortalamaları
yaşlı erişkinlerde (41-64 yaş) genç yetişkinlere (18-40
yaş) göre daha yüksekti (p=0.040).
Sonuç
COVID-19 her iki kulağın kemik ve hava yollarını etkileyerek
farklı frekanslarda farklı düzeylerde işitme
kaybına neden olmaktadır. COVID-19'un komplikasyonları
üzerine yapılan araştırmalar, işitme kaybı testlerini
içermeli ve olası işitme kaybını önlemek için çalışmalar
yapılmalıdır.

HEARING LOSS IN PATIENTS WITH COVID-19

Abstract

Objective
Worldwide, scientists continue to follow-up on patients
recovered from COVID-19 and have published the
long-term persistent symptoms and permanent
damage observed in various tissues. The present
study aimed to evaluate hearing loss in patients
with COVID-19 on the basis of pure tone averages
measured using pure tone audiometry.
Material and Method
In this retrospective data analysis study, pure
tone averages of non-hospitalised patients with
COVID-19 were compared over 1 year before and
after contracting COVID-19. Continuous variables
were presented as mean ± Standard deviation
(SD) and categorical variables were presented as
number (n) and percentage (%). All data showed
normal distribution. Therefore, paired t-test, a type of
parametric test, was used to identify the significant
differences between the measurements.
Results
The pure tone threshold values of patients increased
significantly after COVID-19 (p0.001 for all) based on
puretone averages measured in the bones and airways
of theleftandrightears. Olderadults (41–64 yearsold)
had a greater difference in puretone averages of the
left ear airway before and after COVID-19 (p=0.040)
than younger adults (18–40 yearsold).
Conclusion
COVID-19 affects both ears' bones and airways,
causing varying degrees of hearing loss at different
frequencies. Hearing loss tests should be included
in COVID-19 complications research, and clinicians
should be given advice on how to avoid hearing loss.
