Can rabies cause tinnitus?

People with rabies may have symptoms of tinnitus. Rabies is an acute infectious disease caused by the rabies virus. Rabies usually has no signs during the incubation period, and the earliest symptoms are fever, anorexia, fatigue, and insomnia. Then the patient will show symptoms such as hyperfunction, odd behavior, fear of water, fear of wind, blurred consciousness, and aching limbs. Due to the gradual aggravation of the disease, it may also affect the patient’s eardrums, hearing nerves and other parts of the ear, causing the patient to experience tinnitus. However, a single symptom is not a basis for diagnosis, but also needs to be combined with other clinical symptoms of the patient in order to make a judgment. Since the death rate of patients with rabies symptoms is extremely high, it is important to receive rabies vaccination in time to prevent rabies after being scratched or bitten by dogs or cats.
