To determine if otolaryngologists and audiologists of the American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery have noticed an increase in the incidence of sudden sensorineural hearing loss during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
A questionnaire was developed for the purpose of providing a cross-sectional descriptive analysis of perceived association between the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and an increase in the incidence of sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
Of respondents, 63.0 per cent did not notice an increase in sudden sensorineural hearing loss during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. There was a weak positive correlation between patients identified with sudden sensorineural hearing loss and the percentage of coronavirus disease 2019 positive patients reported by each medical care provider (Spearman correlation = 0.20, 95 per cent confidence interval = 0.05-0.33). There was no association between geographical location and perceived increase in sudden sensorineural hearing loss ( = 0.38).
The majority of respondents did not perceive an increase in the incidence of sudden sensorineural hearing loss during the coronavirus pandemic, regardless of geographical region.
确定美国耳鼻喉科学院的耳鼻喉科医生和听力学家是否注意到在 2019 年冠状病毒病大流行期间突发性感觉神经性听力损失的发病率增加。
为了对冠状病毒病大流行与突发性感觉神经性听力损失发病率增加之间的相关性进行横断面描述性分析，专门制定了一份问卷。
在接受调查者中，63.0%的人没有注意到在 2019 年冠状病毒病大流行期间突发性感觉神经性听力损失的增加。每位医疗服务提供者报告的突发性感觉神经性听力损失患者与冠状病毒病 2019 阳性患者的百分比之间存在微弱的正相关关系（Spearman 相关系数=0.20，95%置信区间=0.05-0.33）。地理位置与突发性感觉神经性听力损失感知增加之间没有关联（=0.38）。
大多数受访者无论地理位置如何，均未察觉到在冠状病毒大流行期间突发性感觉神经性听力损失的发病率增加。
