Wow! What a great piece of reporting. I have had the exact hearing loss you describe ever since I got Covid-19, and my doctor or specialists could not figure out the problem. Now at least I have some idea what it is and how to tackle it. Many thanks for your research. I don’t know why doctors and ear specialists don’t know this? God be with you. Virtue has its own reward.

Thank you and I am sorry for your hearing loss. I have a longer more organized document in the works - based on this one - I think I will replace this one with it when finished, maybe.

Tuna fish reportedly has helped restore some CoV related tastebud changes. I checked, it isn't just good in zinc, it has a lot of bioactive methyl B12 which we need for nerve health and function.

Yes, I started B12 and B vitamins. It’s not just me, that has this. Adele, the singer also has this after taking the jab, and her doctors and ear specialists are clueless. Sad.

That's too bad.

I'm still working on it, doing a deeper dive.

If I may make one suggestion, could the author “dumb down” some of the medical language in order to have more people understand the dangers of loud music, noises, and ear buds that may injure the delicate hair and bone structure in the ear? This generation is going to all have hearing impairment issues as they age. Thank you again for the alert!

context for my chuckling, I just wrote a draft movie script for an action-adventure movie intended to be exciting but less explosively noisy for the actors and the audience.

*It is a comedy and not highly intellectual ;-). Context this was following a short series about movies which got into noise damage, dementia and hearing loss, and Bruce Willis, sadly, has frontotemporal dementia now.

The author can try with a major rewrite I think. When things get long, it is easier to take it to a document to sort it all out. <chuckling>

What an intriguing and informative post! Everyone should be made aware of all the implications of loud noises such as movies and gaming and “pump Up the volume” in music. I have personally complained of errant overhead unnecessarily loud music while shopping or even at church! Percussionists may be unaware at how these sudden noises or long-term raised decibels have upon the delicate intricacies of the inner ear. We take our hearing far too often for granted. My husband often alluded to hours he spent as a preteen riding the lawnmower for daily without any hearing protective equipment and believes it led to his current hearing impairment. Thank you to the author for all the citations and references provided herein.
