title="COVID as a potential risk factor for sensorineural hearing loss in newborns",
abstract="Currently, numerous studies around the world are performed to investigate possible complications of COVID-19. Audiovestibular system damage can be a manifestation of a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Various viruses are known to cause congenital hearing impairment. Are neonates of SARS-CoV-2 positive mothers in a risk group of congenital hearing loss? Review of literature is not conclusive, but there is more evidence for COVID-19 not being a risk factor for congenital hearing loss. Limited cohort studies, using newborn hearing screening, were performed to compare the incidence of neonatal hearing loss with newborns with no potential risk factors. More studies are needed to support these results and regular checkups of newborns in a risk of hearing impairment due to maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection to investigate possible complications.",
