Some reporting in there, Facebook group survey, and Tinnitus (12,532) is the 44th complaint among nearly 700,000 reported in the Vaccine Adverse Effect Reporting System.

And I have more, and I'm sure there are many more since. This one discusses the fact that even scientists have been reluctant to report this harm, for fear of being "canceled:" https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/tinnitus-rare-sid...
A specialist I saw at UCLA came right out and said "this is a true agent" (pretty sure that was the terminology he used) and that information on it has been actively suppressed.
Aside from suppression, there's a huge under-reporting problem here. I had to spend a lot of time seeking out specialists for this issue, time that I happened to have and the insurance and money to pursue it. That is not MOST people.
General practitioners and even first-level ENTs pretty much shrugged and suggested known-to-be-ineffective treatment like steroids. Do you think these guys reported my complaint as vaccine-related to some central database?
Of course I did, but again... I'm sure that puts me in a small minority. Also I had good hearing and immediately noticed the problem. In fact, I have diligently protected my hearing my whole life, wearing ear plugs even in loud pubs.
So I submit that this is a way bigger problem than the "stats" show... stats that (even so) DO indicate a problem.
It's been exhausting to respond to (reasonable) questions about non-anecdotal evidence... or outright scorn, with personally-scraped-up evidence that should have been public knowledge.
Everyone should have been armed with this information before making a risk/reward decision about the vaccine, especially as it became less effective and/or critical. Now I have a degraded life for a nearly-useless second booster.
