Abstract
Tinnitus is a symptom that can occur in isolation or in different pathologies. It is described as the perception of a sound, or as a phantom auditory percep- tion that is not produced by a vibration or external acoustic stimulus, which is inaudible to the environment. COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, is a disease that has shown diversity in its expression, severity, symptoms and sequelae. Tinnitus is a condition related to the auditory system that has been studied during the COVID-19 pandemic, and an increase in the inci- dence and/or exacerbation of the perception of this symptom has been obser- ved, involving multiple factors that become important to consider.
