I received one dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine and experienced a major tinnitus spike for three days. It was a challenging experience. Unfortunately, I later caught COVID-19 and the flu, which was even worse than COVID-19. I've decided not to get another vaccine and have never had a flu...

On days when you feel spikes, it's best to avoid getting flu shots, COVID shots, or any vaccinations that might make you feel worse. It's more beneficial to receive these shots only on good days

Over the weekend, I came down with a sore throat and runny nose. Out of curiosity, I used an expired Covid rapid test and it came back positive with two solid red lines.

I've seen a lot of people post on here about a spike or onset of tinnitus following COVID-19 vaccine and since this is also a complication of COVID-19 itself, I thought it might be useful for us to create a discussion on ways to reduce risk of this side effect from the vaccine so we don't feel...

...(Curcumin) or any other method prior to getting future shots? What was the results? Not everyone who has tinnitus is having issues with the COVID-19 vaccination shots. But undeniably many are. But the fact is also that COVID-19 is likely even more damaging and potentially beyond the...

Are you feeling better now? Did you experience any long-term effects from COVID-19? I just tested positive two days ago. So far, I only have a headache and a fever of 38.5°C. The pharmacist mentioned that medication isn't usually prescribed for people under 65 or without pre-existing conditions...

Fu***** COVID...

Hi all, I had COVID-19 mid October and I was fully recovered, having no issues, for over 2 months before a slight dizziness/nausea returned. A month later I experienced spells of minor ringing for 5 seconds for a week in my right ear (normal other than the number of times). I then had one of...

It is not necessarily going to get better, and it may even get worse.

Direct SARS-CoV-2 infection of the human inner ear may underlie COVID-19-associated audiovestibular dysfunction | Communications Medicine (nature.com) Abstract Background COVID-19 is a pandemic respiratory and vascular disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus. There is a growing number of sensory...

<1 week after 2nd Pfizer COVID-19 shot, I started experiencing extreme sensitivity to noise including normal speaking volumes of people around me. After ~3 weeks of that, sudden immediate onset of extreme vertigo, unbalance, tinnitus and hearing loss. Treated with Amoxicillin (antibiotic)...

Being a 67-year-old naturopathic doctor with serious immune system and respiratory diseases I was looking forward to getting vaccinated against COVID-19. My 1st Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine gave me moderate shushing sounding tinnitus that finally resolved into being so mild that I was usually unaware...

About 45 days after the 2nd Moderna COVID-19 shot I developed a high pitched hissing that accompanied higher pitched sounds. Metal on metal sounds really set it off. Doctor gave me some antibiotics to no avail. I even quit swimming for a month in case it was “swimmer’s ear”. No change. It’s...

I've read a few posts here about people suffering from tinnitus when they caught COVID-19, so wanted to share my experience and ask a few questions. Got COVID-19 about 5 days ago, luckily a mild case, more like a head cold. When I get colds, my sinuses are sore / swollen for a few days, before...

Hello. I am 29-year-old male living in Turkey. Actually, this matter might be familiar to people who suffer from tinnitus after the COVID-9 vaccination. But I wanted to talk about my trouble too. As you can see above I got the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on (28.08.2021). 14 days after the Pfizer...

...my left ear. It's a constant high pitch ringing. I am a healthy 32-year-old male. The tinnitus started 9 days after I got my second Moderna COVID-19 jab. I am hypothesizing that this was the cause as there were no other obvious catalysts in my life and I have never had tinnitus before. Doctor...

I completely believe this. My tinnitus started after a COVID-19 booster vaccination and then worsened after a COVID-19 infection. I think it's either from inflammation or an autoimmune reaction. I'm hopeful for any treatment.

Interesting observation regarding how having COVID-19 impacted mine and my wife's tinnitus. We both have similar tinnitus. Some ringing in both ears, but more high pitch in the right ear. We both became positive with the Delta Variant in early August. Both of us lost our sense of smell. My wife...

I'll keep taking the vaccine—six times so far with no effect on tinnitus. However, COVID-19 is 2000 times more likely to cause tinnitus than the vaccination for it, plus other possible complications such as "long COVID" or worse.

If you end up in an emergency room with severe COVID-19, surrounded by a surgical team trying to keep your lungs open (God forbid), they will be completely focused on keeping you alive and breathing. They are not going to ask whether you have a history of auditory problems. They are on the front...

...for the long haul, and I need some help to get through the coming months/years (gulp). My tinnitus first appeared after I tested positive for COVID-19 a week ago today. I am double vaccinated, and my symptoms were mild. I had a slight fever for a day and a slight sore throat for a morning...

I thought I'd make a thread where people can share their experiences with getting the COVID-19 vaccine, and whether or not it seemed to have any effect on your tinnitus or hyperacusis. This thread is NOT a place to debate or preach about COVID-19 or vaccination in either direction. That would...

Battling COVID much more concerned about my sense of smell and taste returning than any possible increases in tinnitus

This is my first post. I am struggling. I had an aggressive reaction to my COVID-19 booster in December. It led to a number of severe body wide problems culminating in: Sudden hearing loss (both ears, some hearing has returned but sadly not back to what it was) Tinnitus (both ears, severe...

I'm a 30-something healthy male. Prior to this, I've never had tinnitus in my life. On June 14th I had my second Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine dose. 4 days later I developed tinnitus in both ears (more in my left). It was 24/7 and I had spikes where it became a lot worse. This situation made me...

COVID-19 also worsened my tinnitus. Strangely enough, Gabapentin helps alleviate my post-COVID-19 tinnitus but does little for my noise-induced tinnitus. I cannot take it regularly, though, as I only have a limited amount, and my ENT in my new location would not agree to refill my prescription.

...(and not being wise enough to wear good earplugs, something I only started doing since the tinnitus started). However, early 2022 I had COVID-19 (which was like a 5 days flu) and then 4 weeks later a booster. That's approximately when a much louder tinnitus started. Plus - it dominates in...

My already bad, already medicated tinnitus got noticeably worse after COVID-19 last fall. I found some (thin) research indicating Gabapentin might be helpful at 600 mg, and as I have a ton of that stuff, I took it at that dose for 2-3 weeks, which at least calmed me down. I have numerous...

I always wear mask in public, and I leave my apartment only once a week. And I'm still getting covid infections. Unbelievable...

...ear. Constant and not pulsating. I was not exposed to any loud noises that I recall. The only recent abnormal event at the time was getting the COVID-19 vaccine. On April 30th, 2021 (two weeks earlier) I received a second dose of the Moderna vaccine. My reaction to the vaccine seemed to be...

How are your distortions? No improvement?

COVID-19 infection spiked my tinnitus for a few days, and so did the vaccine. I was one and done with the vaccine.

...I found Tinnitus Talk last night when I realized the tinnitus in my left ear had suddenly become a great deal worse, 4.5 days after #1 Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. I've lived with continual tinnitus in both ears since June of 2012, and had become very accustomed to it. I don't relish becoming...

Mine started after COVID-19 too, and I thought I was going to die around Christmas; my COVID-19 was that bad. Now I’m dealing with severe tinnitus and extreme sensitivity to high-frequency noises. It’s hell.

...a tough cycle because when it does spike, it’s so frustrating to think this might be here forever, all because of one random encounter with COVID-19. It can be tough sometimes not to let it get to me. However, I’ve been able to manage some of the anxiety by reminding myself that I’ve dealt...

...rock bottom (similar to the period when I developed tinnitus for the first time in 2015). Then on top of that in January 2022 I contracted COVID-19. At first I was like... maaan, really? I'm suffering with this sound and now COVID-19? But to my surprise that period was tinnitus wise the most...

I did a COVID-19 test and it seems I tested for a weak positive? Makes sense considering I'm probably at the end of it (over a week now).

Hey, folks! Hope everyone is doing well! I have a question about the COVID-19 nasal swab test, for anyone who has had it. I'm in the U.S. and have been following the social distancing, masking, and hand washing and sanitizing protocols from the beginning. I've never had a COVID-19 test, and...

I was having some of this post-COVID-19 after my ears got super fed by it, and after finding a couple of papers, I jumped up to 600 mg/day for a couple of weeks. This coincided with a reduction in symptoms, but that could be a coincidence. I've since stopped taking Gabapentin, mostly because I...

I got my COVID-19 booster vaccine in January, 2022. 3 weeks later, I developed music distortion. My first 2 vaccines were alright, I had no auditory symptoms at all. My first two jabs were AstraZeneca and the booster was Pfizer (only one available). I work in healthcare so am at a high risk of...

...with virus gain of function projects. Fauci has stated on record that a pandemic threat is worth the risk. It has not been established that COVID-19 was created in this lab, but many believe it was before it escaped and spread worldwide. RFK Jr. has written extensively on it, including...

Tomorrow going to urgent care to check for COVID/influenza. I'm interested what is going on with me

Got covid again. I had it less than 2 months ago. Unbelievable. Anyway, it did not spike my T back in August, so... There's a small hope!

The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine caused me to experience a severe tinnitus spike for two days In 2021. As a result, I have decided not to receive any more COVID-19 shots. One and done!

...from working in a print shop for several years. It was not a significant problem though. About a month after my second dose of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, I developed LOUD ringing all at once. It was as though someone flipped a switch! It started and has not let up! Sometimes it's so loud it's...

I remember having covid in August. Couldn't leave my bed, wasn't even able to talk or open my eyes for 2 days. At least no T spike lmao
