Aim: We aimed to systematically characterize ear and labyrinth toxicities after immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) initiation. Materials & methods: Data were extracted from the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database. Disproportionality analysis including information component and reporting odds ratio (ROR) was performed to access potential signals. Results: In FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database, 284 records for ICIs-associated ear/labyrinth adverse events (AEs) were involved. In general, there was no significant association between total ICIs use and total ear and labyrinth AEs (ROR025: 0.576). However, in ICIs monotherapy and polytherapy groups, signals were detected in several specific ear and labyrinth AEs. Conclusion: Total ear and labyrinth toxicities were not significantly reported with ICI immunotherapy, while class-specific ear toxicities were detected in some strategies.
