Tinnitus is only listed as an adverse reaction
for the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine.
An updated search of VigiBase has been
performed for the PTs included in this signal
assessment (Table-A) and for the terms with
a positive (>0) IC025 values for each COVID19 vaccine (Table-B).
In brief, the terms selected for hearing
disorders included sudden hearing loss,
tinnitus, deafness unilateral, neurosensory
hypoacusis, deafness, deafness transitory,
and hypoacusis. On 18 November 2021 there
were 37 529 deduplicated cases, for which at
least one of these terms was reported, from
86 countries: 21 countries reported more
than 100 cases; another 22 countries
reported 10-99 cases; 15 countries reported
5-9 cases and 28 countries reported 1-4
cases.
I wonder how many now? How many people are like me who didn't think to report this association because there was no way anything could be related to the vaccine itself... I'll definitely be going to my doctor with this. I'm curious if they say, completely not associated as they often do.

That’s still exceedingly rare. A 0.00041% chance, to put a number on it. And that’s just for tinnitus, which was the most common reported of the terms by far. Even if you say half, or a third, or a tenth of the cases of tinnitus were actually reported, it is still extremely rare.
Then there’s the fact that the majority of cases occurred within 1 day, the rest within 19, and the majority resolved quickly.
So if your tinnitus, which emerged some time after the second dose and still lingers today was in fact related, you’d be experiencing something unimaginably rare. Of course that’s not as compelling as jumping to the conclusion that it must be the cause and your doctor will just brush it off.
