At least 16,183 people had filed complaints with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that they'd developed tinnitus, or ringing in their ears, after receiving a Covid vaccine.
. While there is no proof yet that the vaccines caused the condition, theories for a possible link have surfaced among researchers.
The cases tended to be severe. One man told Bao that he couldn’t hear the car radio over the noise in his head while driving. After internal reviews of the reports, the CDC "did not find any data suggesting a link between Covid-19 vaccines and tinnitus," an agency spokesperson said in an email. Poland, who was stricken with tinnitus after he received his Covid vaccines two years ago, suggested that the CDC remains "unconcerned" about these reports of tinnitus.
“We think that many forms of tinnitus reflect some damage in the inner ear,” said Dr. Konstantina Stankovic, an otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeon who is leading the new research. “And then the brain tries to compensate for the damage and starts to make sound of its own,” she said. It's a phantom noise in a person's ear, meaning that no one else can hear what the patient is hearing.
