This Is Changing My Life — Hoping My Tinnitus Is Connected to Chronic Sinus Problems

Hello, this has changed my life and I am hoping it is connected to my chronic sinus problem.

Has anyone out there had tinnitus problems related to sinuses? Blood pressure going up or down also strongly affects it.

Have had suicidal thoughts... can't work as much. Am considering just basically shrinking my life down and moving to an area where blood pressure doesn't change much... such as LA or San Diego.

Still trying to get something done through the ENT. Waiting for another CT scan... 1st one was for the brain... this one for sinuses. Have had sinus problems for many years.

Any thoughts out there would be welcome.

 

Do you have a history of loud noise, loud music, loud factory work, loud anything?

 

HI @MK1

Tinnitus can be related to sinus problems. The most common cause of tinnitus is exposure to loud noise. If you were listening to music through headphones a lot or going to places where loud music is played: Clubs, concerts etc. Any one of these could have been the cause of your tinnitus.
