Tinnitus or ringing in the ears is a subjective perception of noise. It is very common and I suspect most people would have suffered from tinnitus – albeit briefly – at some point in their lives. The most common form of tinnitus is a high-pitched ringing – the sound of crickets at night. Some people sense a humming or hissing. Tinnitus may present in one or both ears and can be pulsatile at times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There has been an uptick in the incidence of tinnitus during the Covid pandemic. Some experts feel that this is simply due to the pandemic-driven lifestyle of isolation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The British Tinnitus Association based on safety data reported by the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency<\/a>\u00a0(MHRA) showed that 1 in 7,275 people who receive the Covid vaccine will report tinnitus. This makes tinnitus a very rare side-effect of Covid vaccination. The association may also be pure coincidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A large ear institute in the USA (House Ear Clinic) looked at their own data of patients presenting with hearing loss, tinnitus, or dizziness following covid vaccination and found no correlation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you do develop tinnitus, it is important to seek an early evaluation of your hearing. Our clinics are equipped with audiometric equipment to test your hearing<\/a> and identify any hearing loss. Prompt and early intervention can reverse any hearing loss and potentially alleviate tinnitus<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n \nShare this blog via:<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tinnitus or ringing in the ears is a subjective perception of noise.
