    Post COVID-19 Tinnitus

    ...have rather mild tinnitus (possibly from my original vaccine booster back in 2021) and have lived in constant fear of having something, like a COVID-19 infection or some medication like an SSRI, make it much worse. Posts like this amp up my anxiety. It’s to the extent that I refuse to get...

    Anthony2019 what was your t caused from and you said yours is static. Mine started ringing at night when I had Covid twice, but it went away and then came back in 2023 was 10 times worse. Static-buzzing electricity. It’s in both ears and the worst is it’s in my head 24/7.

    I got my COVID vaccination (Moderna) yesterday afternoon. Couldn't get to sleep last night until after 4 AM, which could be related. Also took NAC prior to the vaccination.

    Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infection with Pre-Existing Tinnitus

    My tinnitus was "through the roof" for me too for a few days, and then calmed down again when the COVID-19 infection wore off. Most likely/hopefully this will happen to you too. Try not to stress too much about it.

    Tinnitus, Vertigo, Dizziness and Nausea After the Second Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine

    I got my second Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine in February, and it knocked me for a loop! I'm wondering if my recent tinnitus, vertigo, dizziness, and occasional nausea are related to the vaccine. I had a fever and chills about 6 hours after the vaccine, and got extremely dizzy when I got up to try...

    Neurosoft Bioelectronics: Implantable Electrodes to Treat Tinnitus

    I wish companies could expedite clinical trials the way they did with the COVID-19 vaccine. The number of people suffering increases every day, yet these companies take so long, even though it’s been proven that the process can move faster.

    Seeking Support for Severe Tinnitus Spike After Very Loud Restaurant with DJ Playing Music

    Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine Flare Up

    Hey everyone. I had very mild, barely noticeable tinnitus for 2 years due to Meniere's disease and up until I received the 1st dose of the Moderna vaccine when it skyrocketed. My tinnitus used to be a 2/10 now it's 8/10. I'm beside myself. It's been 1 month and I want to die. I feel like I'll...

    @SumGuy hello my T is very bad lately. It started out rough aging when I first had it with Covid both times. When it came back in 2023 it was 10 times worse with buzzing-static electricity 24/7 it’s in both ears and my head. The head is the worst. How is your T and how did it start?

    My Story: Tinnitus Probably Caused by Either Loud Music, Ibuprofen, COVID-19 or a Bad Fall

    ...I was on a trip and went to two loud "bar events" (without hearing protection - facepalm - hindsight is 20/20). On the same trip, I caught COVID-19 and got pretty sick because of it. Blocked nose, headache, pain in my throat and difficulty inhaling deeply. I never noticed any tinnitus or...

    Reformulated Retigabine (Trobalt): BHV-7000, a Kv7.2 Modulator by Biohaven (Pfizer)

    That may be the case but the COVID-19 vaccine would have put Pfizer in front of the driver seat and made the company much more well known. There shouldn’t be any issues getting BHV-7000 approved in other countries at the same time. XEN1101, on the other hand, may face more delays with releasing...

    Low Steady Tinnitus for 15+ Years from Loud Music, Made Worse by COVID-19 Infection / Booster

    It's true we can't isolate exactly what was the cause of the tinnitus without knowing more about timings, cases with COVID-19 with or without the vaccine etc. But are you really suggesting that the vaccine could be more dangerous than full-blown COVID-19? Do you understand how vaccines work?

    Immunological and Antigenic Signatures Associated with Chronic Illnesses, Including Tinnitus, After COVID-19 Vaccination

    My sympathy. The brand of vaccine might have played a role, the company that manufactured that particular vaccine. In situations like this, where a new virus emerges and multiple vaccines become available, it is often only afterward that we learn which one may have had unintended effects.

    My 8-Year (Reactive) Tinnitus and Hyperacusis Journey Thus Far

    I am sorry to hear about your troubles. I am hoping that the illness is the culprit. I think there is a good chance that is the case. When I had COVID-19 in October/November, my ears turned into a reactive mess. After the illness went away it started to clear up and get better.

    25-Year Tinnitus Anniversary and I'm Spiking Again After Attending a Concert

    I had a crazy spike after COVID-19 a couple of years ago. This was after 20 years of being habituated to tinnitus, with a few less severe, temporary spikes. It cleared up and went back to baseline after 9 or 10 months. Currently recovering from a second COVID-19 infection, I have a slight...

    Tinnitus from Trazodone / Stress / Noise / Ear Pressure / COVID-19? Hoping to Get Help!

    I got COVID-19 in late December. My biggest issues were lack of sleep and anxiety. I don't know why I have tinnitus now but some ideas: Trazodone: got tinnitus the second night I took it and then discontinued. Stress and lack of sleep: both are improving now, but tinnitus is perhaps slightly...

    Oral Gabapentin and Intradermal Injection of Lidocaine: A Role for the Treatment of Tinnitus?

    Erika, about 15 months ago, I was considering a “tympanic neurectomy” for ear pain. As a diagnostic procedure, Lidocaine was injected into my ear canal. The diagnostic procedure made my tinnitus, hyperacusis, and ear pain worse. There are a number of people who have had this done. It is my...

    Is Paxlovid (Ritonavir/Nirmatrelvir) Ototoxic? Can It Make Tinnitus Worse?

    I am just getting over COVID-19 and I am taking Paxlovid. My tinnitus has definitely been exacerbated. It was much less noticeable for quite awhile now, so I noticed the difference. However, COVID-19 itself can attack the stereocilia in the ear, so the question is, which is the culprit, the...
