A Prospective Study on Post Covid Sudden Onset Sensory Neural Hearing Loss and Its Recovery.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is a known complication of a number of viral infections, but there is little literature to date on its association to Corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19).This study aimed to investigate the incidence and recovery from SSNHL in post COVID-19 patients. A study was conducted in 6 months of duration at our tertiary care COVID dedicated hospital. Total 280 patients with age group of 12-70 years, laboratory confirmed COVID 19 positive patients having mild to moderate COVID symptoms were included. Patients were examined clinically along with all safety measures to analyze incidence and their recoveries from SSNHL by clinical examination and using Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA). Out of 280 patients the incidence of only SSNHL is 1.07% (3 patients) and SSNHL with tinnitus is 2.14%(6 patients).Total recovery(TR) regained in 2 patients of SSNHL, Partial recovery(PR) in 4 patients, Slight improvement(SI) in 1 patient and no recovery(NR) in 2 patients. The incidence of SSNHL in time of COVID 19 pandemic appears to be higher (3.2%) than before the pandemic (0.005%-0.16%). Incidence among younger age group and patients with no comorbidities has been also increased. In diagnosed case of SSNHL, early treatment with short term course of oral steroids and neuromodulator drugs are the mainstay treatment. Awareness of such non-specific presentation of COVID 19 patients is crucial and shared decision making with the patient and providing health care personnel is necessary for decreasing the hearing loss associated morbidity.
