I have tinnitus. I bought a nasal wash bottle from the chemist and put 1/2 - 3/4 teaspoon of salt & a pinch of baking soda in 500ml of preboiled water then rinse my sinuses out with the bottle, (instructions are on the bottle & easy to follow). I do this 2-3 times a day & it has decreased the level of noise. Make sure you put the salt in ... it hurts like hell otherwise ! Also I hold my nose & "blow" as many times a day as I remember.
