Abstract
Summary The World Health Organization (WHO) described Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) as a public health emergency COVID-19(Alimohamadi et al.,2020 and Sohrabi et al., 2020). United states Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended using the term “Post-COVID Conditions” as an umbrella term for the wide range of
physical and mental health consequences experienced by some patients
up to four weeks or more after COVID-19 infection (Control &
Prevention, 2021). Evidences showed that dyspnea, fatigue and “brain
fog” are among the most commonly reported long term symptoms(Nalbandian et al.,2021; Shah et al., 2021 and Yong, 2021a). The
profile of post COVID-19 cognitive impairment involves attention and
planning difficulties, decreased information processing speed and deficits in short-term memory,abstraction and orientation(Woo et al.,2020b).
This study was conducted to evaluate the central auditory abilities in post COVID-19 adults by using Arabic central auditory tests.In the present research, two main groups were studied; studygroup and control group. The study group included 30 post COVID-19subjects with their age ranged from 20 years to 34 years with mean±SD(27.10 ± 3.82). The control group included 20 healthy subjects who didnot have COVID-19 infection with their age ranged from 21 year to 31years with mean±SD (25.80 ± 2.19).The study group was furtherly divided into two subgroups according to Central Auditory Processing Questionnaire. The first subgroup(Ia): consisted of 20 subjects (post COVID-19 complaining subgroup Ia) and subgroup (Ib) consisted of 10
subjects (non-complaining post COVID-19 subgroup Ib).
