tauzero Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 A little while after getting Covid-19, I noticed that my tinnitus was more intrusive. It didn't seem more intense, but while I used to pretty much tune it out all the time and only really noticed it when the subject got raised, or on the occasions (maybe every couple of months) when for some reason it got louder for a while, now it's more noticeable. I wondered if it might be Covid related as Mrs Zero has had her sense of taste affected, so there are presumably potentially some neurological effects, and I finally got round to using a popular search engine to check it out. And this is what I found: https://www.thebsa.org.uk/covid-19-is-making-tinnitus-worse-new-study/ So if you have tinnitus, beware of Covid. Beware of it anyway, but it's just another reason to keep clear and get vaccinated as soon as you can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambient Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 It might be worth asking your GP. Tinnitus can be a symptom of something. A guy I know had Covid in April last year, he’s still suffering from the long term effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steantval Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Due to no gigs since March 2020, mine has reduced quite a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLowDown Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I've not heard of covid having any effect on tinnitus, but stress and anxiety can make it a lot worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxos10 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Mine seems to have increased in intensity for no apparent reason. I wondered if it was due to the colder temperatures we are experiencing but Covid could be an explanation (although I believe I had Covid back in March and isolated according to the instructions from the 111 medical line no confirmation).
