Thank you for sharing these updates and for being such a strong advocate for yourself. I believe your decision to seek treatment when you did may have saved your hearing and prevented a lifetime of debilitating tinnitus. Here’s why I think this: In April 2021, like so many others, I received a...

Indeed it is. Definitely an adverse event for us but the vaccine train keeps rollin'. I wish someone would have a plausible explanation for WTH is going on. Is the problem even in the ears? Brain? Vascular? All of the above?

I don't know a single person who developed tinnitus after the Moderna vaccine and, believe me, I've asked around. I'm in the group of people that had a highly reactive response to the vaccine. Overall the mRNA shots have been very successful and I have little doubt they are here to stay. I am...

Nothing in life is free; including protective immunity against COVID-19. Everyone on the fence should carefully weigh out their potential exposures, risk factors, and potential adverse reactions (anaphylaxis, ear issues, blood clots for J and J) versus the psychological liberation and...

I think the tinnitus is due to a crazy immune response to the Spike protein. Maybe get a one-and-done vax.

I can't help you with the preexisting tinnitus (mine is definitely from the Moderna vax and far from resolved). However, I do suggest you consider a one-and-done vaccine (J and J; maybe Novavax when it comes out). The J and J vaccine seems to be less reactogenic (i.e. less side effects) than the...

People can make their own decisions regarding emergency-use vaccines for themselves and for their children. There are plenty of valid reasons not to get a vax, including experiencing tinnitus/vertigo/sudden hearing loss after the first shot. Hopefully tinnitus/vertigo/inner ear disease will...

It's not your kids you need to worry about. They do fine with COVID-19. For those who skip shot 2, you'll need another shot eventually, be it six month or a year from now. Watch and wait to see what plays out and then choose a vax.

mRNA vaccines are here to stay. They need to be cleaned up (dosing, more studies of the lipids etc) but they have been a smashing success overall. Those of us with tinnitus are dealing with after effects of a wicked immune response that likely has little to do with the mRNA technology...

Tough call on this one. Both decisions are right. I decided to do it, but not sure I would again given my current situation.

To an extent I agree, but don't discount the negative impact of Long COVID-19 or permanently reduced pulmonary function on quality of life. Both outcomes are very possible if you COVID-19 finds you.

Getting the shot is not a bad decision. You are betting that any tinnitus spike will be temporary (be it 6 weeks or 6 months) and more than offset by the protection you will get from the vaccine and the peace of mind that comes with it. I think for most, this will be the case.

I was on the fence about my second dose too. I had begun to develop what would be considered mild tinnitus after the first Moderna shot (never had tinnitus before). I was concerned it was due to the shot but plowed ahead anyway under the assumption that I'd be kicking myself if I had skipped the...

I am almost six weeks out from Moderna shot #2, which greatly exacerbated my mild tinnitus that developed a week after the first shot. I have not taken any meds outside of daily Zyrtec that I would be taking anyway because of seasonal allergies. I have yet to see an ENT because they are...

I am three weeks out post second shot. I had mild ringing after shot #1 that I thought was subsiding but developed the full-blown Moderna hiss after shot #2. I THINK it's slowly getting better but there are all kinds of weird rings going on even as I write this. Damned if you do, damned if you...

I am on a tinnitus roller coaster since my 2nd Moderna shot two-plus weeks ago. Monday (day 14): worst ever (9/10) tinnitus; could not hear myself think. Tuesday (day 15): barely noticed it (2/10). Wednesday (day 16): a little worse but not bad (3-4/10). Today (day 17): back to a 7/10...

My story is remarkably similar to yours. I have never experienced tinnitus outside of temporary and mild ringing after exposure to loud sounds (like a rock concert) or after a long road trip in a car. I received the first Moderna shot on March 5. About a week later I began to notice persistent...
