Can Viruses Cause Hearing Loss?

Viruses are common causes of temporary hearing loss, tinnitus, and balance problems. Even slight changes in the inner ear can affect our hearing. Germs and bacteria can infect the ear directly, and an unrelated viral infection can cause inner ear inflammation. Respiratory illnesses, colds, and sinus infections are the most frequent causes of temporary hearing loss because the body's inflammatory response causes fluid and mucus buildup behind the ear drum. Viruses like measles, mumps, varicella (chickenpox), meningitis, and congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) are other common causes of viral hearing loss in children. Sometimes people develop sudden hearing loss after recovering from a viral infection. Although uncommon, Covid-19 can inflame the ear and cause hearing loss or tinnitus.
