COVID-19 vaccines donât cause sudden hearing loss, study finds
When you administer tens of millions of doses of COVID-19 vaccine, youâre bound to get reports of all kinds of side effects.That includes accounts of sudden hearing loss.
Doctors at Johns Hopkins University treated some of the people whose hearing suffered in the wake of a COVID-19 shot, and it made them wonder whether the vaccine really could have been responsible. So they decided to investigate.
Their verdict: The vaccine wasnât to blame. The timing of the hearing loss was just a coincidence, according to a report published Thursday in the journal JAMA Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.
