1) This is partially due to the fact that Covid damages the autonomic nervous system, specifically the vagus nerve The vagus nerve connects your brain stem to your middle ear (& your eyes, heart lungs, diaphragm, stomach, GI tract, eyes, muscles in your face, & your voice box)

"Covid blew out my girlfriends' [37F] eardrums"

Covid blew out my girlfriends' [37F] eardrums Question to those who tested positive [46M] just tested negative today for the first time in 13 days. We both had 3 shots of Moderna... My symptoms were run of the mill I suppose. Fever, shivers, heavy chest, crushing fatigue. Now I only have the fatigue, which I hope will go away soon... For my girlfriend it was quite different. No heavy chest or fever, but she does have the fatigue. What's worse, she developed major pain in her head to the point where she woke up screaming in the middle of the night... Then liquid started flowing from both her ears in just about every color imaginable. Clear, brown, red... That appeared to have taken off the pressure from her skull, but now she can barely hear anything.... Waiting for an ENT appointment and hoping that her hearing will at least return by itself... Has anyone else had their hearing affected like that?
