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...

...Did it affect your tinnitus? I found an article on the National Library of Medicine regarding the risk of tinnitus associated with the COVID vaccine: → Prevalence of New‐Onset Tinnitus after COVID‐19 Vaccination with Comparison to Other Vaccinations It seems this article suggests that...

My long-term tinnitus worsened significantly shortly after my first COVID-19 vaccination. My wife’s COPD also worsened around the same time. I am not a conspiracy theorist, but it does make one reconsider things. I also received a booster so I would have the necessary documentation to...

<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)...

You are right, I stand corrected.

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...

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...

COVID-19 has been an absolute menace. It nearly destroyed my life too. I struggled with severe mental health challenges, even feeling suicidal, because of the ongoing audiological problems it caused me. I believe these issues include Meniere’s disease, which developed shortly after a very mild...

Yes, I’m having the same issue. The ENT says I have high-frequency hearing loss, described as “textbook,” at 6,000 hertz in both ears. I’m not sure I fully believe it, but to be honest, this has been happening since I got the Covid shot.

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...

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...

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...

...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...

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...

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...

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 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...

Fu***** COVID...

...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...

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...

Dear @billie48, I hope you are doing well. I recently cought Covid again and once more it gave me a big spike and this time I need to adjust a bit more, especially regarding my sleep. There's something I'm wondering about your sleep routine. You have mentioned to me before that you use...

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...

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 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.

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

...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...

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.

...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...

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...

...(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...

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...

...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 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...

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.

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

...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...

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...

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

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

...Taylor, founder and CEO of Louisville-based Texas Roadhouse, took his own life Thursday after struggling with the debilitating repercussions of COVID-19, his family said. "After a battle with post-Covid related symptoms, including severe tinnitus, Kent Taylor took his own life this week,"...

...tube dodginess. Even when the hum isn’t there, my ear has been blocked consistently since April. It got triggered again tonight by a COVID-19 test, when I shoved the thing up my left nostril I heard and felt a sudden hum like I’d twinged something in my ear, and it came back pretty strong...

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.

How are your distortions? No improvement?

Like some others on Tinnitus Talk, I had tinnitus come on from nowhere. Its timing suggests it may be from my first shot of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. My ENT says that for sure the bad case of viral and bacteria infections I currently have in my mouth and on my tongue are side effects from...

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...

...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...

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).
