Abstract
To present clinical cases of sensorineural hearing loss in children under 5 years of age after a novel coronavirus infection. We report 3 cases of unilateral and 1 case of bilateral acquired deep sensorineural hearing loss, while the association with SARS-CoV-2 has been confirmed anamnetically and/or laboratory. The SARS-CoV-2 virus can have a depressing effect on the cochlea on its own or enhance the toxic effect of viruses during the recovery period after COVID-19. The true frequency of acute sensorineural hearing loss of infectious origin in childhood and, as its outcome, the formation of persistent hearing impairment has not been determined. Viruses are volatile, contagious, and clinically dangerous due to their complications. Vaccination is the most effective measure for the prevention of infectious diseases.
