The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: audiogram: (Oct2021) unknown results; blood pressure measurement: (2021) unknown results; blood test: (Jun2021) unknown results.She got her first COVID vaccination in Jan or Feb2021, and her second dose Feb2021 or something like that. She started having a side effect from the vaccination. It was after the second dose. It was really really hard. She had a fever and all those things. But it is okay she chose to get the vaccine because she wanted to protect herself from COVID 19. She didn't mind having side effects. She developed a buzzing noise in her head. She thought it could be fever, or the medicine effect on her body. There was a light buzzing in her head for a while. She had blood work done in Jun2021. She didn't pay attention to other stuff. She took it light and thought it will go away. It seemed very minor. She spoke to her insurance, and she told them the weird feeling noise in her head. She googled it, and it said tinnitus. She read it is permanent sound issue. During the summertime, she had a fan next to her bed and she could sleep fine. She just ignored it and exercised. She then got the COVID booster, and it was hard on her. She didn't mind, she wanted to take the booster cause she is 67 years old. She needs the booster. She started having worsened buzzing in her head. She thought it was maybe a blood pressure issue. She had dental work done too. She didn't do it for a couple of years because of COVID. It was a year and a half. She had an audiogram with ENT in Oct2021. She got the COVID booster in the beginning of Oct2021. She has been googling if it was permanent. It was getting worse. She didn't know it could be a side effect. She was checking her blood pressure and using ear drops in case there was an infection. She was wondering if there is was a study that found this to be a side effect, and if so what people did about it to make it better. The patient wanted to know if there was a technique to get rid of it. The patient declined report. She does not want to expose herself. She doesn't want her information sent to a website. She didn't had tinnitus before the vaccine. She doesn't care if Pfizer calls her, but she doesn't want her information to be sent into a website. The patient was not comfortable completing report. She will ask her family and see what they say.Follow-up (29Dec2021): This is a spontaneous follow-up report from same contactable consumer.The lot number for the vaccine, [BNT162B2], was not provided and will be requested during follow up.
