Connections?
In March of 2020 I was having trouble sleeping...diagnosed with very mild sleep apnea I finally got a cpap kit by mail(covid).I came down with covid in May 2021.I had ringing in my ears in hospital and EVERY day since.I finally was diagnosed with Tinnitis and hearing loss in 2022. No one can correlate ANYTHING!!??1
Do you feel like your CPAP was/is working well to manage your sleep apnea? COVID has affected people in so many different ways, and unfortunately I would not be surprised if there was a connection between your infection and the hearing loss. However, there can also be a connection between tinnitus and sleep apnea itself. Here's an article that explores that in more detail:

Have you been working with an ENT doctor since your diagnosis? -Melissa, team member
Hi
. It seems you are not alone. Here is an article from the Cleveland Clinic about the potential connection between COVID and tinnitus: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/can-covid-19-cause-tinnitus. Are you concerned that it might have something to do with your CPAP or your sleep apnea? Have you found anything that helps? Sending the best of wishes your way. - Lori (Team Member)
