The condition, whose formal name is tinnitus, is characterized as a hearing problem that causes ringing in the ears. “It may be associated with vaccines,” they pointed out from the United Nations health agency.
Although the side effect is still rare, the WHO reported 367 cases of tinnitus and 164 cases of hearing loss among the 11 billion vaccines administered, “most commonly found to be within one day of vaccination.”
Doctors from the Uppsala Monitoring Center, a Swedish non-profit organization that collaborates with the WHO, Christian Rausch and Qun-Ying Yue, explained that tinnitus as a side effect usually occurs more frequently in patients between the ages of 19 and 93 years, while in the February reports, 63% were women.
“The symptom was registered in 27 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom and Italy. In addition, more than a third of the reported cases came from people who worked in the health care industry,” he added.
WHAT IS TINNITUS
Tinnitus is often described as a ringing or whistling sound heard in one or both ears, without an external source of sound. “That is, the person hears a sound – a buzzing, beeping, hissing, murmuring, murmuring – without anything external causing it,” the Mayo Clinic reviews on its website.
This condition associated with the Pfizer vaccine is a relatively normal phenomenon that almost the entire population experiences at some point in their lives.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF TINNITUS
Tinnitus usually has symptoms such as a ringing, buzzing, or whistling sound heard in one or both ears, but it can also resemble a roar, power line noise, click, or hiss.
Its intensity and tone can vary and be softer or louder or higher or lower, although high-pitched tinnitus is more common. They tend to get worse with silence.
