Death of Texas Roadhouse CEO bringing attention to another possible complication of COVID-19
The so-called โlong haulersโ have been known to suffer symptoms that range from relatively minor to downright debilitating.

He took his own life after battling symptoms related to COVID-19, including severe tinnitus. โItโs hard for us as specialists to identify if this was something that was pre-existing, if there were other factors such as hearing loss, middle ear infection, noise exposure,โ Dr. Gonzalez said. His story is one reason that Dr. Gonzalez said anyone suffering from this should see a doctor right away.
