Dangerous effects of coronavirus on the ears

Researchers say the coronavirus can cause ear problems.
According to the Daily Mail, experts from the University of Manchester in the UK said that in a few weeks, about 13% of patients have hearing problems.
According to research, the coronavirus can cause hearing problems in one in eight patients.
Observations in 121 patients revealed that 16 of them had hearing loss eight weeks after discharge.
Eight of the patients reported hearing loss, while eight others reported hearing in their ears.
Sixteen people (13.2%) reported hearing loss while talking on the phone, and four people had hearing problems before being infected with the coronavirus.

Researchers at the University of Manchester say more research is needed to determine why the virus is associated with hearing problems.
