Effect of COVID Infection and Vaccination on Tinnitus
Session Description: The COVID-19 pandemic has created a unique set of circumstances that seemingly have increased the onset of tinnitus and exacerbated the severity of tinnitus. This presentation will include an overview of tinnitus and commonly co-occurring otologic and psychological symptoms, as well as recent findings about the effect of COVID infection, long COVID, and vaccination on tinnitus onset and severity.
