Covid-19 increases hearing loss risk over 3 times in young adults

A large scale cohort study published in The Lancet’s eClinical Medicine examined the health records of over 6.7million young adults in South Korea, ages 20 to 39, comparing those who tested positive for Covid-19 to those who did not.

The study found that the incidence of hearing loss was 3.44 times higher in those contracteed with covid-19 compared to those who had not after accounting for possible variances.

We recommend people to highly consider getting their covid vaccination.
