| Sumario: | Background: Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSNHL) is a relatively rare symptom after immunisation from commonly used vaccines such as rabies, hepatitis B, measles and H1N1 and it could be an occasional symptom of COVID-19, even in mild manifestations of the disease. Case report: We describe the case of a 57-year-old patient that reported SSNHL and tinnitus in his right ear 2 days after the inoculation of the Oxford-AstraZeneca (VAXZEVRIA) Covid-19 vaccine. The patient almost fully recovered after therapy and was referred to a long term follow-up program. Conclusion: The current report underlines the importance to consider SSNHL as a possible rare adverse effect of the Covid-19 vaccine and take in account this possibility to promptly proceed with diagnosis and treatment of suspect cases. |
