Additional information: The patient reported that she was 5 feet 1 and 3/4 inches tall, she was shrinking due to getting older, she used to be able to fudge and said she was 5 feet 2 inches. She wanted to call and let them know her symptoms, which what she was having may have nothing to do with the shot, or the information may help, she did not know. The reporter said she did not have her vaccine card to provide NDC/LOT/EXP for her Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine doses. She said she knows she got the second dose exactly the date from the first dose. She got the COVID-19 vaccine because her husband was 87 years old, and she didn't want to chance it. The patient stated that she thought it could be a hearing thing so she did a hearing test in Apr2021, and saw her ear doctor in Oct2021, who she would be see again in April. She said she didn't know if she had mentioned having ringing in her ears during her first visit in 2020, she had a vertigo thing that happened in 2020 and had been a little off balance, but they never could figure out why because she had no crystals in her ears, just a little wax and not much else. She said what made her think about it, which it had been more at night while she was laying either watching TV, and it seemed to be a constant noise, was that a friend of hers got real sick with COVID, who was a nurse and was around it and had got both shots and boosters and was in her 50s and didn't have to go to the hospital and stayed home for 3 weeks mentioning that she wished she could get rid of the ringing in her ears. The patient said she questioned her friend if it was a ringing or a swishing, or like being under water scuba diving, and her friend said it was ringing.
