the study's porpuse is to examine whether Covid-19 causese a reduction in sensorineural hearing and vestibular function in recovered pateints - compared to healthy controls. Both study groups will undergo audiometry, tympanometry, Video Head Impulse testing, Subjective Visual Vertigo testing and Video-Nystamography. Previous audiometry results will also be aquired.
Diagnostic Test: Audio-Vestibular evaluation
Diagnostic evulation with audiometry, Tympanography, SVV, VHIT, VNG.
