“…In addition, reports indicate that Sars-CoV-2 infection can also affect hearing and patients have reported complaints of tinnitus and hearing loss (Almufarrij & Munro, 2021) or a lower response amplitude in otoacoustic emissions of those who tested positive for COVID-19 (Ribeiro & Silva, 2021).…”

The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, causes a respiratory infection disease of rapid transmission through droplets in the air, from person to person, or by contact with contaminated surfaces. Infected people can be asymptomatic or symptomatic, with symptoms like pneumonia, which can lead to hospitalization of these patients. The role of speech therapists in the multiprofessional team has been extremely important in dealing with the pandemic, especially in symptomatic and intubated patients. After extubation, these patients can be affected by serious speech-language pathology consequences, requiring follow-up for rehabilitation with a speech-language therapist. Thus, the aim of this study was to carry out, in an unprecedented way, a review in the literature about the consequences of COVID-19 in the major areas of speech therapy. To meet this objective, a narrative review was carried out, from which it was possible to analyze the major areas of speech therapy in which patients had consequences during or after the COVID-19 infection, such as difficulties in swallowing (dysphagia), tracheostomy, tinnitus, hearing loss, language, and speech delay. It was also possible to present the importance of telephonoaudiology to accompanying patients. Given the above, from the data of this review, it was possible to observe that most of the consequences associated with COVID-19 dealt with the same context: after or during the period of infection, where patients were affected by speech-language pathology consequences which required intervention to assess, rehabilitate and, when necessary, apply appropriate therapy. Furthermore, future investigations, such as randomized clinical trials, are encouraged to better elucidate these consequences, since some information is still found in studies with low scientific evidence such as case reports.

“…Embora a COVID-19 esteja muito relacionada a manifestações otorrinolaringológicas, como tosse, odinofagia, dispneia, anosmia e disgeusia (CHERN et al, 2021a), estudos (GALLUS et al, 2021;LAMOUNIER et al, 2020;HARENBERG;JONAS;TRECCA, 2020;RIBEIRO;SILVA, 2021;MUSTAFA, 2020;TANEJA, 2020) apontam que o SARS-COV-2 pode afetar também o sistema auditivo, muitas vezes causando perda auditiva neurossensorial, condutiva ou mista, leve, severa a profunda, uni ou bilateral, progressiva ou não (RIBEIRO; SILVA, 2021;TANEJA, 2020).…”

Introdução: Embora o COVID-19 esteja relacionado as manifestações otorrinolaringológicas, como tosse, odinofagia, dispneia, anosmia e disgeusia, estudos apontam que o SARS-COV-2 pode afetar também o sistema auditivo. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, realizada através da análise de artigos obtidos nas bases de dados Scielo, Pubmed, Dimensions, ScienceDirect e Embase. Foram utilizados descritores relacionados a Disfunções Auditivas e COVID-19, sendo selecionados apenas artigos no idioma inglês e português. Resultados: Durante a busca foram obtidos 669 artigos potencialmente relevantes e após análise por título, resumo e na integra, 33 artigos atenderam aos critérios de inclusão, representando um total de 10 mil pacientes aproximadamente, sendo 14 relatos de casos, 1 estudo de evidências baseadas em opiniões de especialistas, 7 revisões de literatura e 11 estudos observacionais não experimentais. Foram relatadas alterações de audição em 32 estudos, em um contexto de infecção recente por COVID-19. Desenvolvimento: Após análise, observou-se alterações como perda auditiva neurossensorial, condutiva e mista, uni/bilateral, leve/profunda, progressiva ou não, em associações com zumbido em 65,6% dos estudos, otalgia em 21,8%, plenitude aural em 6,25% e otite média e externa em 6,25%, além de alterações como hiperacusia em 3,12%. A maioria dos estudos realizaram audiometria tonal, impedanciometria e emissões otoacústicas evocadas transientes, como instrumentos de avaliação e os mesmos exames realizados em pacientes com infecção por COVID-19 recente, apresentaram piores desempenho auditivos

Nanoparticles for the Treatment of Inner Ear Infections

et al. 2021

The inner ear is sensitive to various infections of viral, bacterial, or fungal origin, which, if left untreated, may lead to hearing loss or progress through the temporal bone and cause intracranial infectious complications. Due to its isolated location, the inner ear is difficult to treat, imposing an acute need for improving current therapeutic approaches. A solution for enhancing antimicrobial treatment performance is the use of nanoparticles. Different inorganic, lipidic, and polymeric-based such particles have been designed, tested, and proven successful in the controlled delivery of medication, improving drug internalization by the targeted cells while reducing the systemic side effects. This paper makes a general presentation of common inner ear infections and therapeutics administration routes, further focusing on newly developed nanoparticle-mediated treatments.
