Welcome to Mayo Connect. We are a community of people living with a variety of conditions, who strive to support one another with encouragement, tales of our own journeys, and links to the best known research and information sources.

As Erika shared, more is known each day about the prolonged effects of Covid-19 , and she pointed to those which specifically address hearing. At this point it is not known whether the hearing loss will be permanent, but for inflammatory causes, which Covid seems to be, a course of steroid treatment is standard. Some losses have been reversed, some improved, some not.

It is worthwhile to note that in the pre-vaccine past, viruses like measles, rubella and scarlet fever were known to cause hearing loss. Back then, it was not known that the cause was viral inflammation in the ear and there was no intervention with steroids, so the loss often became permanent. So if I were in your situation, I would definitely try the steroids.
Good luck - be sure to let us know how things go for you.
