Update: After getting the 2nd dose Pfizer a week ago I might have had a short spike, at least it seemed my ears were more sensitive to noise that they previously had not had an reaction to. Things triggered them quite easily. Yesterday was the first day I felt more like they were returning to...

I’m taking the same road as you here. My spike lasted longer, but I think that is partly also due to other factors like flushing my ears from wax, which seems to have irritated them a lot. Plus a lot of stress, bad sleep and pregnancy issues. I hope it will go back to baseline over time. I do...

My spike from dose 1, if that is what it was, has been the weirdest tinnitus I have ever had. Yesterday it was back to baseline. This morning back up. I’m starting to think that it is also connected to the fact that I am pregnant and many seem to get weirder tinnitus spikes when pregnant. I...

Hi!

Update. Had my hearing checked. No hearing loss, all looks perfect. Ears look fine. No irritation, nothing. I just do not understand this, but I do hope that whatever reason for the increase in my tinnitus, or how I hear it - it will recede over time. Last weeks I felt a huge variation in...

EXACTLY this. If it stays where it is now I am ok. It was better before but I can live with it where it is now. Some days are better where it is almost back to baseline and some days I hear it through pouring rain which wasn't an issue before. But should it increase even more I don't know how I...

Yeah, I really want to take the 2nd dose, but am terrified that the tinnitus will increase even more, to a level where it is actually something that would make life permanently worse.

A question to all who have taken both doses even though your tinnitus got worse after dose 1: Did it stay at the same level after dose 2 or did it worsen even more? If it got worse after dose 2 - did it improve afterwards? I have taken dose 1 and my tinnitus is worse than before at base...

How long did it take before it settled? I noticed something around 10 h after dose 1 as well, it settled pretty much until the next day but now 2 days later I feel like I notice it a bit more again on one ear. Knowing how my tinnitus work it might be stress or something like that from the whole...

Personally I hope that this suspected link between vaccine and tinnitus will be closely examined and studied, to firstly see if it exists, and if so - what it comes from. It is an immune response, which might explain why some get it easier than others? Is it reversible for all, just on different...

Did you take both shots?

Is Pfizer looking into it? Do you know if the tinnitus triggered by the Shingles vaccine is temporary?

Seems like it differs a lot then. I heard a report today from one woman where it disappeared totally in a week and another where it stayed low. Wonder why this is. I’m used to spikes that slowly disappear, that’s how my tinnitus has worked the last 24 years at least. I notice a spike, think a...
