    Was It COVID-19 or Benzo (Xanax) Withdrawal That Made My Tinnitus Worse?

    It spiked 2 weeks after the first shot but I didn’t think it was from the vaccine. 36 hours after the second shot my life was over.

    Was It COVID-19 or Benzo (Xanax) Withdrawal That Made My Tinnitus Worse?

    My tinnitus was mild and caused by Ménière’s disease. Then the COVID-19 vaccine made it worse and Klonopin made it suicidal.

    Was It COVID-19 or Benzo (Xanax) Withdrawal That Made My Tinnitus Worse?

    Yes I got hyperacusis from it too! I have so many tones I’m miserable. Almost ended it yesterday. I don’t see it being better. The electric buzz, hiss and squeals are terrible.

    3 months later loud as ever and just got a new tone two days ago. Suicidal. I have ten tones.

    Was It COVID-19 or Benzo (Xanax) Withdrawal That Made My Tinnitus Worse?

    It’s the benzo. Those sounds are same as mine from Klonopin. I was on it 6 weeks, tapered 9 weeks, and got hit hard. When did you finish the taper?

    Tinnitus from Age 12 — This Summer I Went from One Tinnitus Tone to Five Tones

    @linearb, is kindling a real phenomenon? Before I went on for 6 weeks I was on Klonopin for 4 weeks and cold turkeyed because no one told me how to stop it, but I was fine. When I went back on it a few weeks later and then tapered I got bad withdrawal with tinnitus increasing and getting more...

    If you believe other people, it has happened. Science doesn’t even understand why tinnitus happens so good luck finding any studies on why it could improve suddenly.

    Hello from Bruce — Struggling with Sleep & Amitriptyline Makes My Tinnitus Worse

    I think Lenire is garbage. Be careful with the benzodiazepines, they can worsen tinnitus when you stop them. I’m a victim of that.

    I Hate What Tinnitus Has Done to My Thought Process

    My tinnitus was a 1/10 pre vaccine. It shot it to a 9/10 and 12/10 during spikes. I also developed insane hyperacusis from the vaccine where it spikes to sheets and swallowing. I was put on Klonopin and steroids. Tapering from Klonopin made it even worse. I’ve lost all sound tolerance.

    Don’t worry. It is possible for hyperacusis to get better. How possible I don’t know, but there are successes.

    I Hate What Tinnitus Has Done to My Thought Process

    I hear you. This puts you into survival mode when it gets bad. It’s tough to concentrate and it has actually cost me my job now that it has gotten severe from the vaccine. If it isn’t bothering you too much and you don’t have hyperacusis, protect your ears as much as you can so it won’t worsen...

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

    It has been 10 months since my second Pfizer vaccine, which caused severe tinnitus and mind boggling hyperacusis. It has not subsided. On a non-tinnitus side note the vaccine also caused anxiety attacks that last for hours and visual snow. The anxiety attacks have improved slightly I think.

    Tinnitus from Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine — What Has Worked for Your Vaccine-Induced Tinnitus?
