Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of maternal COVID-19 vaccines before pregnancy on infants. The results showed that infants born to mothers who received 3 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine before pregnancy had significantly higher levels of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, which were transferred to newborns via the placenta. Furthermore, the antibody levels in infants vaccinated with 3 doses decreased significantly with age but remained higher than those in infants vaccinated with 2 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Summary: The objective of this study was to investigate the association between COVID-19 during pregnancy and congenital hearing loss. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 60,223 newborns, and it was found that the gestational COVID-19 group had a higher incidence of hearing loss compared to the control group. However, no significant difference was observed in the third screening test conducted within the first 30 days of life. Therefore, gestational COVID-19 may not be a risk factor for permanent congenital hearing loss.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy on newborn hearing function. The results showed that the infection does not lead to moderate or severe hearing loss in infants, but may be associated with middle ear disorders.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether babies born to mothers infected with COVID-19 during pregnancy were at risk of congenital hearing loss. After screening the hearing of 111 newborns born to COVID-19 positive mothers, there was no evidence to suggest that COVID-19 infection is associated with hearing loss.

Summary: This systematic review investigated the impact of delivery method (vaginal delivery vs. cesarean) on clinical presentation, laboratory findings, and maternal/neonatal outcomes in pregnant women with COVID-19. The results showed no significant differences between vaginal delivery and cesarean in terms of perinatal complications, maternal outcomes, and neonatal outcomes. Therefore, the decision to perform a cesarean delivery should be based on standard indications rather than COVID-19 status.

Summary: This retrospective study analyzed the hearing status of newborns born to pregnant women with COVID-19 infection during pregnancy, and did not find evidence that COVID-19 can cause congenital hearing loss. However, considering that hearing loss may occur at later ages, this issue needs to be further evaluated with larger patient series.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant delays in early detection and intervention for congenital hearing loss, potentially impacting individual patients and public health. Healthcare providers have opportunities to mitigate the negative effects of the pandemic on pediatric hearing health care.

Summary: There is currently no evidence showing a significant association between COVID-19 and placental lesions, and the incidence of placental issues is similar to non-COVID-19 pregnancies. Transplacental viral transmission is very rare, with no typical placental changes, and maternal-fetal hypoxia in the context of pneumonia seems to be the most important prognostic factor.

Summary: This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from 115 mothers with SARS-CoV-2 infection and their infants. The results showed that moderate and severe maternal infections were associated with pregnancy complications and premature delivery. Mothers with pre-existing, non-gestational diabetes were more likely to develop moderate or severe COVID-19. Placental injury patterns were not associated with the severity of maternal COVID-19.

Summary: This study compared the distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) and click-evoked auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) between infants whose mother had Covid-19 during pregnancy and infants whose mother did not have Covid-19 during pregnancy. The results showed that Covid-19 infection during pregnancy may not affect cochlear function but may affect the functioning of the auditory brainstem.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the results of a universal newborn hearing screening program during the COVID-19 pandemic in Umbria region, comparing the data with previous years. The study found that the program has improved with increased coverage rate, but the percentage of those lost to follow-up is still high, highlighting the need for better monitoring and information sharing.

Summary: Hearing loss is a prevalent chronic health condition worldwide, with viruses playing a significant role in congenital hearing loss. Viruses may impact inner ear development by affecting the expression of key molecules, with certain viruses showing a more pronounced effect on inner ear development.

Summary: The study found that SARS-CoV-2 placentitis is characterized by histiocytic intervillositis, perivillous fibrin deposition, and trophoblast necrosis. These features may occur in cases without confirmed transplacental transmission, and the damage caused is likely mediated by complement activation.

Summary: A systematic review was conducted to explore the audio-vestibular disorders associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection and the potential ototoxicity side effects of related treatment drugs. Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common symptom, often accompanied by tinnitus and vertigo. Despite limited understanding of the etiopathogenesis, the number of reports linking COVID-19 infections to audio-vestibular disorders is increasing.
