Anyone experience hearing loss after Covid vaccination?

I mean, note that that transmission effect is dramatically reduced in the face of omicron. Back in August, after a booster it was about 53%. To me, who works regularly with seniors, the population at the highest risk from covid, that still seems like a lot.

The OTHER thing that bugs me about anti-vax propaganda, while I’m sitting here stewing about it, is that they grab hold of things like the identified risk of myocarditis post mRNA vaccine but fail to present the alternative. So, risk of myocarditis from vaccination in the highest risk group (men under forty) means that in a million doses of vaccine, ~40 men will get (and recover from) myocarditis–in all other groups the risk is much, much lower. However, in a million covid infections, 1600 will get myocarditis. So . . .

The facts are indeed, the facts.

We don’t do facts any longer. Feelings seem be the new rule. Also seems like those that say, “Follow the Science” are usually the same ones that don’t seem to believe in basic biology 101, i.e., what a female or male is. I remember when the saying, “in America, you can be anything you want to be”, didn’t mean, I get to pretend and you all must go along with my delusions.
When govt pushes anti-biology propaganda while censoring and banning those that support biological fact, they create untrust all around. I work in a pathology lab, know the “facts”, yet still don’t believe a word of what my govt is saying because I don’t trust them… and with very good reason.

My problem with all the anti-vax information coming out of the USA, is that most of it only makes sense if you lived in the bubble called the USA.

“Hospitals are getting kick backs from every COVID shot they give.” and all that stuff.

Well, if you don’t live in the USA, you can quickly see how this is fabricated as a scare method for people in the US, because other countries don’t have for-profit health systems

The latest ba.4 and ba.5 sub-variants are no joke, people. The previous vaccinations will not cover you for these latest mutations because the mutation is on the spike protein. I’m in my mid 40s and it took me and my spouse out for a few weeks. You don’t want this, trust me The first few days you will just grimace in pain with a fever of 39c+ (102f+.) It feels like you are dying and it’s not fun. Get the latest vaccination to protect yourself and don’t be like me and wait.

Take care of yourselves!

8 yrs ago I had my first ever Flu vaccine . I was a RN in a hospital and was “encouraged” to get it since I was a manager. I was 65. Within a 2 week span I went to profound deafness and suffered everything that goes with that. I was reported to VARS (vaccine adverse reporting system.) There was not 1 DR who believed that my deafness was caused by the vaccine after the million $ workup and alot of steroids which caused its own side effects. After contacting CDC they said that there was 350 reported cases of SSHL(single sided hearing loss) that yr which is low considering the # of flu vax given every yr,so when Covid vax came out naturally I did not get it. I was lucky I was not working any longer otherwise I would have lost my job as there were no exceptions. I am 73 now, do not take a single med on a regular basis. I believe in exercise eating right and let the body take care of it self. If the covid vax would prevent me from getting it I would probably go for it but saying it lessens the disease is false. I know others who have taken it and still got really bad cases of covid I am not against taking medication if necessary and I am not anti vax. I want alot more proof that something is safe AND effective before I take it.

Forgive me if I have serious doubts about what comes out of big pharma

Happily, we have so much independent evidence at this point that the vaccines are safe and effective that you don’t need to trust big pharma.

Dr. Peter A. McCullough

I’ve listened to that interview. Sadly, you’ve been misinformed. Try checking out 98% of all other doctors and scientists. McCullough is shameful. And, if I recall correctly, vaccinated.

But sorry, I shouldn’t let myself get drawn in. No one’s opinions are going to be changed here. This is why I said right off that this is the bed we’ve made and now we have to lie in it. It’s not like mistrust of government came from nowhere. It’s unfortunate that many more people will die than needed to, but that’s just our world.

Be sure you buy all the right anti-covid vitamins and untested supplements!

Pfizer sponsors most everything in the U.S media, so why do think the complications people are experiencing are not headline news.

Contrary to what the anti-vax propeganda is pushing, covid is not a ‘nothing virus’, it is not the case that getting covid and recovering will leave you stronger.

Right. And the effects go far beyond health. Inflation and supply shortages won’t end until Covid is whittled to something tolerable. We’d get there sooner if everyone would take the experts’ advice to wear masks. Alas, there are too many saying they’d rather die in a revolution than wear a mask at the grocery store. They’ll watch their standard of living continue to decline, and pretend that changing this or that politician can somehow fix the underlying problem of people refusing to act in their own best interest no matter how little is asked of them. I’m reminded of people who complain about the high cost of auto insurance, yet can’t be bothered to signal their intention to turn, or who brake first and signal later anyway when it’s too late to do any good. So we all suffer increased accident rates and resultant increased insurance costs because lifting a finger, literally, is too much to expect.

I do understand or try to understand the anti-vaxers position, in the world we now live in, where truth seems to be an afterthought, and lies seem to take precedence, it is little wonder that trust in many aspects of life, no longer exists! Did I have side effects from the vaccine, yes I most certainly did, did I get them from the booster, yes! On both occasions my hearing dropped way down, but it returned after a few days, will this stop me going for the second booster? No chance, I get it in a few days time… Now, I had Covid last March, I was very ill for 11 days, and I most certainly believe, if I wasn’t vaccinated, the likelihood of me surviving was very questionable! Sometimes for the greater good, we have to trust the medication will work, and yes, this may have as yet unforeseen long term implications, but I believe the alternative wasn’t an option either, with thousands dying worldwide on a daily basis! Sometimes, you have to just bite the bullet, take that leap of faith, and hope for the best outcome, not just for yourself, you have a collective responsibility to your fellow man/women… My 2 cents worth, as always your YMMV! Cheers Kev

the ques I replied to was has anyone heard of hearing loss after covid vax. I ans. based on my experience with the flu vax and hearing loss.I have no intention of getting the covid vax. I don’t know if you have experienced sudden hearing loss. You loose your sense of balance, can’t tell where a sound is coming from, crowds are a nightmare along with head pressure and headaches,driving is very scary so the social isolation is overwhelming Perhaps you think that the risks are insignificant vs getting covid.The risks are still too high for me to take a chance. I will take Natural immunity over man made. The evidence is not overwhelming that the vax is safe. It has not been around long enough The people who get the vax are the test subjects

Covid is already “whittled” itself to “something tolerable” all by itself. Each subsequent variant is making people less ill, partly because of the way the variants are mutating and partly because nearly everyone has developed some measure of protective immune response to it.

Research shows that the spike protein from Covid causes clotting and other problems, though, and some of these problems persist in people’s bodies. What amazes me is that people are still advocating voluntary reception of an mRNA concoction that causes the body to produce massive amounts of spike proteins for an extended time period.
