Hearing Loss Means Higher Risk From COVID-19

Unless people practice social distancing, COVID-19 will be the biggest epidemic in the world. This will be even more risky if you are losing your hearing. There are several reasons people with undiagnosed or untreated hearing loss are at a higher risk from COVID-19;

  • Loneliness, anxiety and depression due to social isolation weaken our immune system, which can increase the risk of catching COVID-19
  • People with pre-existing conditions such as cardiovascular diseases or diabetes are more at risk from fatality due to COVID-19 and these diseases are more prevalent in people with hearing loss
  • People with hearing loss may have less income and they are more at risk of financial harm during the pandemic
