A summary of all the available information is on the British Tinnitus Association website and as far as I recall has links to the sources from which the information has come.

There really are no statistics for this in the UK, or elsewhere, to be honest. The data being reported to Yellow Card in the UK, VAERS in the US or the other adverse side effect databases is to provide context for further action, if needed.
The figures being reported don't establish the scale of a problem as much as they show the number of reports being made to the system. It's a good indicator of how many people are aware of this route of reporting, not to be used as evidence that symptom Y is occurring as a result of medication X.
As tinnitus can't be measured, and it's impact is individual and subjective, there is no way to report the kind of impact which you have queried . You can review the data on the UK government's COVID hub - gov.uk/government/publicati... - freely, but it doesn't indicate which is the safest vaccine to have.
The answer to that is that there isn't a significant relationship between vaccination and tinnitus being shown by any of the data which is being published widely or in medical journals. There's far more evidence that people taking their chances and developing COVID-19 are likely to encounter definitive health risks, including hearing loss and tinnitus, which would lead the BTA to recommend that you consider being vaccinated to prevent this.
As Rosie mentioned, the BTA's COVID hub hosts the information we are privy to - tinnitus.org.uk/Listing/Cat...
Thanks for your answer BTAPat
I am pretty sure AZ created my T since it is the exact same tyre deflating noise y got from starting some pills given for my kind of enlarged prostate.
Stopping its use quit my T. Tried twice.
Got first shot of AZ and again the exact T noise. Must say that after some months it has become hours on and off but wonder if the second shot will leave it stronger and continue.
No one can answer that, I kow.
Its unfortunate to still don't have more data to decide.
It worries reading of people whishing they had better opted to not take the second shot as they don't have a life any more.
I wonder if inactivated virus vaccines like Sinovac would be a better choice.
Thank you, 180c.
We've had the same kinds of questions about Sinovac, too - so I don't believe that the vaccination type has any bearing on reports of tinnitus.
If I can ask the question, why do people feel that the response they've had to a vaccine or medication is set in stone? Why does a second dosage have to result in worse symptoms rather than lesser or no noticeable changes being noticed? Why is the default position of so many people worldwide to expect the worst?
My case with the Med creating my T was confirmed a third time at Drs. request and the Med paper said to discontinue it if ear or eyesight problems happened so I can pretty much write that in stone since I had not experienced T in my life except for maybe minutes and with different sound. Also that it never came back after stopping that Med.
Vaccine I give it maybe an 80% chance as the culprit since it happened just as with the Med, 2 days after taking them and exactly the same sound for whatever that is worth.
In short, just trying to make an informed decision as good as I can before putting my second jab. Do know the vaccine is new and the information needed might not be there yet.
Have read how T can affect ones live and want to be responsable.
Completely aware of the risks of not being vaccinated and wanting to be protected.
Why people expect the worse?
I just see it as already stated. Trying to make informed decisions on things that deserve it and I fully respect different points of view.
Thanks for your good website.
BTAPat, absolutely!
Had never suffered with Tinnitus before this year, thought it might have been brought on by medication, but the ent consultant said not likely. Had intermittant tinnitus after first Pfizer jab, and tinnitus became constant high pitched squealing in both ears two days after 2nd jab in April and has not gone away since. Could be coincidence, but I'm not so sure.
I'm afraid to have the jab - in case it makes my T worse. I just can't go back to the dark days of acute distress. I'd rather isolate, social distance, wear a mask. Anything really.
