Share Your Experience: Pneumococcal Vaccines' Impact on Tinnitus

[Varda]

Has anyone taken a pneumococcal vaccine? Did it affect your tinnitus?

I found an article on the National Library of Medicine regarding the risk of tinnitus associated with the COVID vaccine:

→ Prevalence of New‐Onset Tinnitus after COVID‐19 Vaccination with Comparison to Other Vaccinations

Out of 2,575,235 patients receiving a first dose of the mRNA COVID‐19 vaccine without any prior tinnitus diagnosis, 0.038% (95% CI: 0.036%–0.041%) of patients had a new diagnosis of tinnitus within 21 days. There was a higher risk of a new tinnitus diagnosis after the influenza vaccine (RR: 1.95, 95% CI: 1.72–2.21), Tdap vaccine (RR: 2.36, 95% CI: 1.93–2.89), and pneumococcal vaccine (RR: 1.97, 95% CI: 1.48–2.64) than after the first dose of the COVID‐19 vaccine.

It seems this article suggests that the influenza, Tdap, and pneumococcal vaccines are more likely to cause tinnitus than the COVID vaccine. Given the many reports on Tinnitus Talk of COVID-19 vaccine-related tinnitus, these other vaccines might pose an even greater risk.

I also found tinnitus-related information on pneumococcal vaccines in another article:

This article suggests that conjugate vaccines may have a lower risk than polysaccharide vaccines.
