The COVID Response: What We Got Wrong

Have Your Ears Been Ringing?

For as long as the COVID vaccines have been available, the CDC has received some complaints about ear-related problems. In a recent study, researchers reviewed 500 cases of screened patients and found that 61 of them (14.5 %) had reported one or more ear or hearing-related symptoms within four weeks of vaccination. That included 21 (5.0 %) with hearing loss, 26 (6.2 %) with tinnitus, 33 (7.9 %) with dizziness, and 19 (4.5 %) with vertigo.
