Tinnitus when taking Tirz?

Summary

Does tirzepatide cause or worsen tinnitus on dose day?

Several users report ringing in the ears that starts or intensifies on the day of the injection and the day after. The effect is described as temporary for some and linked to higher doses, while others note it has been present long-term and may even improve with weight loss. No one lists it as an officially recognized side effect, yet multiple people observe the same pattern.

Has anyone else noticed ringing in the ears right on dose day or the next day? I recently started getting tinnitus and only just connected it to when I take the shot. There's also a pulsing feeling in my ear. After dosing today it suddenly made sense that this happens every single time.

I have had it for years already, but the sound gets much stronger on the day I inject and the day after. I checked online to see if it was listed as a known reaction, but it is not, even though other people mention the same thing. On the other hand some have said their tinnitus went away completely once they lost weight.

Good to know I am not the only one. It only hits me on day one and two. Day two is the worst with big headaches and feeling wiped out, but that only started after I moved up to the higher amount. I also did my first shot from the new vials today after using the pens before, so it is reassuring the side effects line up and show it is the same medication.

Same here. I had tinnitus while taking that antidepressant and still have it now while tapering off, and it feels stronger after jab day. Hopefully it will not stay forever.

Yeah, hoping things go back to normal for you.
