It the majority of cases, it's temporary hearing loss and tinnitus brief to a few days. But there are reports of continued hearing loss without resolution (e.g., complete loss of hearing in one ear, loud tinnitus ). Among the lasting reports of hearing loss or tinnutus, patients are anxious about how long it might last or if it's permanent.
I'll put an excerpt of data sorted (most to least) by events reported to VAERS here and the complete table below.
