Hearing alteration may occur during Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika infections.
- •
Otalgia, hypoacusis, vertigo and tinnitus were the most common symptoms.
- •
Sensorineural hearing loss was more notiaceable in adults exposed to Zika virus.
- •
The actual effect of arboviruses on hearing from adults is unknown.
