Has anyone had any new experiences, positive or negative, with Novavax? Still debating if I will take this.

How did your booster shot with Novavax go? I'm getting to a point where I might try it myself. I want to be sure I am as protected as possible from COVID-19 as it seems impossible to live in the US without eventually getting it.

Thanks for the update! Did you have an increase with the previous vaccines?

I continue to be amazed how little data there is on Novavax. I guess not a lot of people are taking it.

Thank you for sharing. I hope it remains good. But I'm surprised only one person so far. I thought a lot of people with tinnitus were waiting to take this Novavax.

I wonder how many people are actually getting tinnitus from the treatment of COVID-19. It's very common to prescribe Azithromycin which is known to cause tinnitus (except for the doctor who prescribed it to me of course, but every doctor since has been in shock they gave it to someone with...

Now that Novavax has been approved in the US, I'm looking to find out what the experience of people who have tinnitus already have had with Novavax (doesn't matter what country or when). My tinnitus got worse with the first Pfizer shot and I've been waiting for an alternative ever since. Many...

Thanks for the encouragement. It's still up and down but it is not as bad as it was. I'm trying my best to shut tinnitus out of my mind so I haven't been engaging here too much, but I did come to read your responses in the last couple weeks and appreciated the encouragement.

Not yet. It is not as bad as the night before I wrote this, but it's still a lot worse. It's just like the worst of when it would vary. I am still hoping it goes down. Also worried it feels like maybe I lost some hearing, but could be just that the width of the ringing got wider, not sure.

I've had tinnitus for 27 years. It got taken to a whole new level in 2018 when I was given Azithromycin and told it would not hurt my ears (I lost the top 1/4 of my hearing range and gained 4x worse tinnitus). I survived that (though barely - long story I ended up in the emergency room) and...

I saw a report where there was no heart inflammation issue with it which it has been thought that this would be the same thing that would be making tinnitus worse. But there were only reports of heart inflammation I believe with the mRNA and still J&J is actually the only one that even confirmed...

You are brand new to this and you are feeling traumatized by it. Do not let it affect your college plans. Go to college. Whatever you're feeling about it now, you will be less bothered by it in six months. Yes, you have a very low level tinnitus if you really only hear it when it's quiet. But...

Have you ever tried playing the pitch back into your ear... not too loud... but play it for about 20 seconds and then rest it. Then repeat this a handful of times? You can create pitches with phone apps like Tone Generator. Just make sure you are careful with the volume. The idea is to just...

Has anyone who had worsened tinnitus from the first vaccination shot tried using Turmeric (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...

I spoke to an ear doctor about this once and he said potentially both in the jaw muscles could alleviate the clenching if it gets to a dangerous degree. Definitely use a night guard or your teeth will suffer.
