| Abstract | ||||
| Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate hearing in noise ability for post COVID-19 patients using the Complete Intelligibility Spatiality Quality (CISQ) questionnaire and Arabic Version of Hearing in Noise Test (HINT). Patients and Methods: Thirty subjects diagnosed by PCR as covid-19 virus positive were included in this study. Their ages ranged from 20 to 53 years. All participates were subjected to full audiological history, basic audiological evaluation including, complete intelligibility spatiality quality questionnaire (Arabic CISQ) and Hearing in Noise Test (HINT). Results: HINT results, revealed a strong statistically significant difference when compared to normal in all Noise conditions. As regards Complete Intelligibility Spatiality Quality questionnaire (Arabic CISQ), the results were highly statistically significant in averseness, background noise intelligibility and spatiality subscales. Conclusion: Post covid-19 infection, many subjects have a difficulty in speech discrimination in noise and also have difficulty in hearing specific loud sound. Further research in central auditory processing abilities post COVID-19 is recommended. | ||||
