Clinical narrative: buzzing/humming and hissing sound in ears; It affects sleep patterns; it became much worse within 24-48 hours after this 3rd dose; booster vaccine; Other vaccine same date vaccine date 19Nov2021; This is a spontaneous report received from a contactable reporter(s) (Consumer or other non HCP). The reporter is the patient.  A 71 year-old male patient received bnt162b2 (BNT162B2), administered in arm left, administration date 19Nov2021 11:00 (Lot number: 320308D) at the age of 71 years as dose 3 (booster), single for covid-19 immunisation; influenza vaccine inact sag 4v (FLUAD QUAD), administered in arm right, administration date 19Nov2021 (Batch/Lot number: unknown) as dose 3, single. The patient's relevant medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. Vaccination history included: Bnt162b2 (Dose Number: 1, Batch/Lot No: EW0171, Location of injection: Arm Left, Administration date:28Apr2021, Vaccine Administration Time: 11:00 AM), administration date: 28Apr2021, when the patient was 71 years old, for COVID-19 Immunization, reaction(s): "buzzing and humming sounds in ears"; Bnt162b2 (Dose Number: 2, Batch/Lot No: EW0185, Location of injection: Arm Left, Administration date:05May2021, Vaccine Administration Time: 10:45 AM, Adverse event start date: 08May2021), administration date: 05May2021, when the patient was 71 years old, for COVID-19 Immunization, reaction(s): "buzzing and humming sounds in ears", "First dose: 28Apr2021; Second dose: 05May2021". The following information was reported: IMMUNISATION (non-serious) with onset 19Nov2021 11:00, outcome "unknown", described as "booster vaccine"; PRODUCT USE ISSUE (non-serious) with onset 19Nov2021, outcome "unknown", described as "Other vaccine same date vaccine date 19Nov2021"; TINNITUS (non-serious), outcome "not recovered", described as "buzzing/humming and hissing sound in ears"; SLEEP DISORDER (non-serious), outcome "not recovered", described as "It affects sleep patterns"; CONDITION AGGRAVATED (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "it became much worse within 24-48 hours after this 3rd dose". Therapeutic measures were not taken as a result of tinnitus, sleep disorder.  Prior to vaccination, the patient was not diagnosed with COVID-19. Since the vaccination, the patient has not been tested for COVID-19. The patient did not receive any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the COVID vaccine. The patient did not receive any other medications in two weeks. The patient had no known allergies. Within 14 days of vaccine #1 on 28Apr2021 had buzzing and humming sounds in ears. Stayed about same even after vaccine dose #2 on 19May2021. Was an annoyance for most part but something new that I did not have until after the 1st Pfizer vaccine. However, after the booster vaccine on 19Nov2021 it became much worse within 24-48 hours after this 3rd dose. It persists to this date and is louder with buzzing/humming and hissing sound in ears. At times seems to be more piercing sound. I looked on internet and did find that some Covid vaccine recipients experienced these sounds and even tinnitus with ringing in ears. I am not sure if I would describe it ringing, but it is a very annoying sound and is constant. It affects sleep patterns due to this persisting sound when everything should be quiet and ready to sleep. I take no medications or prescriptions, but I would say this is a side effect of the vaccines, much like some people taking meds have side effects. No Treatment was received.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
