I did have my ears irrigated. As far as I could tell, it had no impact on my tinnitus. It did, however, open up my hearing. My right ear was pretty blocked, so sounds were amplified for about a week before my system adjusted. I was hearing sounds I hadn't realized I wasn't hearing before. I'm walking around wondering what that noise is and it's my arm brushing against my clothes. I don't regret doing it at all. I bought an ear camera so now I can look at my own ears and see if they're blocked.
