COVID-19 meds and vaccines: could they harm your hearing?
NCT ID NCT07254442
First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This completed study looked at whether medications used for COVID-19 or the COVID-19 vaccine affect hearing in adults aged 18 to 35. Researchers compared hearing tests among three groups: those who had COVID-19 and took medications, those who had COVID-19 but took no medications, and those who never had COVID-19. The goal was to gather knowledge, not to test a new treatment.
