Abstract
Auditory neuritis associated with cochleitis has already been described in viral damage; Several mechanisms are mentioned; either indirectly by an antibody response that cross-reacts with an inner ear antigen, or directly by an invasion of the cochlear nerve or anterior labyrinth. Non-specific symptoms such as SSNHL might be the only sign to recognize COVID-19 cases. The aim of this article is to report case of 35 year old man; who presented sudden unilateral deafness as the only symptom of SARS covid 19.
