The WHO is investigating rare instances of hearing loss and other auditory disturbances associated with COVID-19 vaccinations – primarily the Pfizer-BioNTech shots.

About 80 percent of the reported tinnitus cases developed after the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, according to WHO’s analysis. The average age of those who reported hearing loss is 47 years old, and most were healthy with no previous conditions. The average age of people who suffered from tinnitus is 48, and nearly 75 percent of them are women. A third worked in health care.

“Awareness of this possible link may help healthcare professionals and those vaccinated to monitor symptoms and seek care, as appropriate,” the authors noted. “As there is still only limited data in the literature providing evidence for this link, further monitoring is required.”

What to do if I suspect of a case like this?

Wow

It might be due to medication

Can you let my doctor know? She thinks I'm making up stories and calls my claims of hyperacusis, extreme tinnitus, and hearing loss 'hearsay'. Doesn't matter anyway I fired her. She's the worst of the worst. Her name is Murina Khambati she works for AscensionSeton

About time

They should just stick to music, & leave hearing to the ENTs.

It’s not hearing loss, it’s that nobody is listening anymore
