Tinnitus risk after COVID-19 XBB.1.5 vaccination: A self-controlled case series study
Our findings suggest no increased tinnitus risk following COVID-19 XBB.1.5 vaccination, either administered alone or coadministered with influenza vaccine. These results provide reassuring evidence of the safety of COVID-19 vaccines with respect to tinnitus risk.
