Polio, tetanus and typhoid vaccinations

I have long term subjective tinnitus. Has anyone had any of these vaccines: polio, tetanus and typhoid and experienced a permanent worsening of their tinnitus? I can accept a short term worsening until the vaccinations settle in. Many thanks.

Hi Fantastic Day (Love the name)

I think its unlikely that any of these vaccines have Tinnitus or worsening of Tinnitus linked to their official side effects but please confirm this with a registered doctor/nurse.

What I can say though is that the fact your asking the question suggests a level of anxiety about it so this may lead to over monitoring/increased anxiety/stress which we know can cause heightening of your Tinnitus perception.

So definitely worth seeking that reassurance from a qualified professional before hand.

certainly none of the vaccinations I’ve ever had have made the slightest effect on my tinnitus.

I remember the disastrous abandonment of vaccines many years ago by those who swallowed the autism developing in their young fears. It was never proved that vaccination was anything other than a completely positive thing to do. Up until whatever it was they were calling the Covid jab, that is. But we had the idea then that whatever that was was desperation stuff. That aside, I wouldn't blame worsening tinnitus on vaccinations. It's just too unlikely.

I have had all of those and many more as I lived overseas in less developed countries for decades with tinnitus. Nothing made a difference to me.

I have had all of those except Typhoid and they didn't give me Tinnitus if I had them before the condition and the repeat ones have not made it worse, nor have the Covid or Flu vaccines.
