It's been nearly 2 weeks from Pfizer shot #2 and I haven't noticed any worsening of my tinnitus aside from the spikes that I experienced right after the shots which I am attributing to other factors (stress, fatigue, self-monitoring), not the vaccine itself. My tinnitus did get a little bit...

It's now been 72+ hours since Pfizer shot #2 and I've had no worsening in my tinnitus. The day after the shot was pretty brutal, I had chills and body aches most of the day and my tinnitus did flare a bit because of all that and also just because I kept listening to it. But by day 2 I was back...

Oh cool, I watch some DJs on Twitch once in a while, mostly DnB - what do you spin? I'm guessing the Phish shows will be at outdoor venues - I think those are safer. Not sure you even need the ear plugs if it's outdoors, guess it depends on the venue. Indoors they're probably a must. Do you...

Just got home from my 2nd Pfizer shot. So far my tinnitus levels are normal. It's been 3 weeks since the first shot with no worsening of my tinnitus. As with the first shot, I will post updates over the next couple of weeks.

Thanks so much for your response, really appreciate it. Do you go to indoor or outdoor concerts or both? I'm thinking it might be safer to go to an outdoor concert / festival. I feel like sound "dissipates" more in an outdoor setting than indoors where it bounces off the walls back at you. Do...

Hey Everyone, I'm pretty new to the experience of tinnitus, having just started suffering from it in 2020. My tinnitus is mild to moderate, is in just one ear, and I believe was brought on by a combination of stress and listening to music at excessive volume, both through earbuds and also in the...

It's now been 11 days since my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine and my tinnitus is still at its baseline. I haven't experienced any spikes since the week I received the vaccine and I attribute that spike to stress, anxiety, exhaustion and my general hyper awareness. I'm still on the fence...

It's now been 72+ hours since my initial dose of Pfizer and I'm still basically at my baseline. My tinnitus has been a little more annoying than normal but I would attribute that to a stressful week at work and also just constantly listening to it to see if anything has changed. I've definitely...

It's now been a little over 24 hours from my initial dose and I haven't noticed an appreciable difference in my tinnitus. It did seem a bit more noticeable last night and this morning but that could just have been due to my fixating on it as well as being exhausted. It didn't really seem louder...

Just got back from getting my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine. Thus far my tinnitus is no different than it typically would be. Obviously I know this can change over the upcoming days however. The process itself was fairly quick and the mass vaccination site was well organized. Tons of people...
