Polio primarily affects the nervous system, leading to muscle weakness and paralysis, but it can indirectly impact hearing. In some cases, the virus can cause inflammation or damage to the auditory pathways or the inner ear, potentially resulting in hearing loss. However, this is not a common complication of polio, and most hearing issues related to the disease arise from associated conditions or complications rather than the virus itself.
