Introduction: The integrity of the auditory system is essential for children to develop auditory skills and acquire language. Considering the high prevalence of hearing loss in newborns due to congenital infections that occur during pregnancy, there is a need to investigate the effects of COVID-19 on newborns’ hearing. Objective: To verify the association between hearing loss in newborns whose mothers had been diagnosed with COVID-19 during pregnancy. Research Strategy: Scientific articles were searched in the MEDLINE (PubMed), LILACS, SciELO, Scopus, Web of Science, and BIREME databases, without restrictions on the language, time, and place of study. The grey literature was also searched in Google Scholar to complement the sample and avoid risk bias. Selection Criteria: The systematic review followed the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and included studies that scored ≥ 6 points according to the protocol for qualitative scoring proposed by Pithon et al. (2015). Data analysis: It was performed using a specific form for systematic reviews prepared by two researchers in Excel®. Results: 29 potentially eligible articles were retrieved, six of which answered the research question. Four studies did not detect an association between maternal COVID-19 infection and congenital hearing loss. Conclusion: COVID-19 infection during pregnancy does not seem to be a risk factor for congenital hearing loss and there were no impacting hearing changes due to vertical infection that might affect these newborns.
