Buried Halfway Into a 40-Page Report, WHO Reveals New Vaccine Side-Effect Many Have Yet to Recover From
Amid pushes for a fourth dose of COVID-19 vaccines, the World Health Organization has said it is looking into reports of hearing problems stemming from the vaccines.
According to NBC News, the WHO has reported 367 cases of tinnitus among people who had received a COVID-19 vaccine.
The condition is characterized by ringing in the ears, and it usually occurred within one day of the vaccine being administered to patients who reported it.
Patients who experienced this side effect ranged in age from 19 to 91, NBC reported. Almost 75 percent of those who reported the condition were women.
