Abstract

Objectives: To identify changes in hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, and migraine in individuals with Ménière's disease diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 and during the UK national lockdown.

Method: Patients were questioned regarding coronavirus disease 2019 status and how their symptoms of hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, and migraine changed because of the pandemic. Of the 411 participants recruited into this study, 382 had a self-reported coronavirus disease 2019 status.

Results: Of those individuals with a positive coronavirus disease 2019 diagnosis, 43 (11.3 per cent) were more likely to experience worsening symptoms of hearing loss and tinnitus. Worsening symptoms of hearing loss and tinnitus, but improved symptoms related to vertigo, were observed during the UK national lockdown.

Conclusion: A diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 and/or experiencing the consequences of a national lockdown potentially resulted in a worsening of hearing loss and tinnitus symptoms. Symptoms of vertigo were found to have improved during the same period.

2019冠状病毒病的诊断和国家封锁对听力损失、耳鸣、眩晕和偏头痛的影响：一项前瞻性队列研究的结果。

目的：确定被诊断为2019年冠状病毒病和英国国家封锁期间患有msamniires病的个体在听力损失、耳鸣、眩晕和偏头痛方面的变化。方法：询问患者2019冠状病毒病的状况，以及他们的听力损失、耳鸣、眩晕和偏头痛的症状如何因大流行而变化。在这项研究招募的411名参与者中，有382人自我报告患有2019年冠状病毒病。结果：在2019年冠状病毒病诊断呈阳性的人中，43人（11.3%）更有可能出现听力损失和耳鸣症状恶化。在英国全国封锁期间，听力损失和耳鸣症状恶化，但与眩晕相关的症状有所改善。结论：诊断为2019冠状病毒病和/或经历国家封锁的后果可能导致听力损失和耳鸣症状恶化。眩晕症状在同一时期有所改善。
