    Share Your Coronavirus (COVID-19) Vaccine Experience: Any Impact on Your Tinnitus or Hyperacusis?

    About one week post Pfizer jab #2 - no measurable side effects (general anxiety doesn't count). Maybe some mild fatigue the day after, arm slightly sore, etc. I was able to do fairly strenuous resistance training two days afterwards with no problems. I heard one YouTube MD streamer say maybe...

    Scared and Tired: Tinnitus Spiked, Phobia of Choking and Horrible Anxiety Came Back

    I really do agree. Took about a year of integrative therapy sessions to realize this. Had horrible insomnia even prior to getting the 'tee'. So much better now. If you're doing therapy pls stick with it.
