I got vaccinated three times (with Pfizer). No ill effects on my hearing/tinnitus (I was monitoring it). Then I got COVID (Omicron), was quite sick for several days (lost smell) and it seems the tinnitus worsened a bit in one ear. So... your mileage may vary, as with everything.

Th vaccine worked well then. Let me guess, it would have been so much worse without it...

I cannot test that counterfactual now, can I?

But some people had it worse, so I guess it didn't hurt. And it is probable that vaccines protected me from original strains, which were worse.

If anything, I'm dissapointed that they didn't develop vaccines for new strains soon enough.

The original strain was likely extinct by the time you got your vaccine. But take an extra booster for the same strain, that will fix it.
