Does COVID-19 have an impact on your hearing?

 

COVID-19 is a virus known to impact human senses and Dalhousie University is conducting a study to determine if hearing is one of them. 

Who can participate? 

Anyone 18 years or older and fully recovered from COVID-19. You must have had a hearing test prior to contracting COVID-19 so any change in hearing can be monitored.

Participants cannot have conductive hearing loss or mixed hearing loss (please call us if you are unsure whether or not this applies to you)

You can participate in this study by having an updated hearing assessment at Lakeside Hearing, Balance, and Tinnitus.

Join the Tinnitus Study (Medical Arts Health Research Group):

How and why tinnitus occurs is not well understood, which is why a significant amount of research is occurring around the world.

Locally, tinnitus research is currently being conducted by The Medical Arts Health Research Group, in cooperation with Dr. T. Kramer, Ear Nose and Throat specialist to help advance the treatment and understanding.

If you are:

  • between 18 and 75 years old AND
  • had a head trauma or injury to your inner ear or a middle ear infection

Please contact the clinic at info@lakesidehearing.com or at (236) 420- 0294 to determine if you are a candidate for the study.

Have your patients experienced a sudden change in their hearing?

 

Dr. Tim Kramer, ENT is continuing his study into an international investigation of treatment for acute idiopathic sensorineural hearing loss.

As the primary complaint is commonly aural fullness, it is often difficult to recognize the sensorineural component within the 72 hour treatment window.

Should you suspect that your patient has sudden sensorineural hearing loss, please contact Medical Arts Health Research Group at 250.763.1791 or Lakeside Diagnostic Hearing & Tinnitus Centre at 236-420-0294 to arrange a high priority hearing assessment.

This study is now closed.
