The precise mechanism for this phenomena is unknown; however, you or your physician can read what is known so far about this in an article published online on Feb, 11, 2022 in a journal called Annals of Medicine & Surgery. Additionally, the Food & Drug Administration collects reports of adverse side effects associated with any vaccine in it’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System or VAERS. You can access VAERS and make your report here: vaers.hhs.gov/report . VAERS has received many reports of tinnitus in temporal association with SARS-CoV-2 vaccination; however this does not prove that the vaccine caused the event. I am not posting this to start a debate about vaccines; I am posting is because there have been anecdotal reports of some patients improving after the administration of steroids, which would require a patient with vaccine-associated tinnitus to see their physician as soon as possible. If you think any of this information I provided may apply to you, please contact your doctor now.

Anyone can report anything on VAERS. I can report that the vaccine made me sprout wings and fly. You can report that the vaccine posthumously caused a deathly allergy to peanutbutter that you had back in the 1970's.
Entire groups of people can all decide together via social media, to report that they have all experienced tinnitus as a result of getting vaccinated. VAERS was established in 1990 - long before broad use of social media. Now that groups of people nationwide - worldwide - can organize the spread disinformation, misinformation, alt-facts, and fake news, VAERS is even less reliable than it was when it first appeared more than 30 years ago.
