Months or even years after recovering from their initial infections, many COVID survivors still suffer from lingering illnesses, such as "brain fog," memory deficits and hearing and speech difficulties.
New research by a pair of Sac State professors may provide hope. The study looks at the link between such symptoms and COVID infection while also providing therapy typically used to treat patients with brain injuries and auditory processing problems.
Though in its early stages, the approach seems to be working for some participants.
“So far, it looks really promising,” said Lisa D’Angelo, an associate professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders. “People’s scores on cognitive assessment are significantly improving.”
