My husband used a sinus rinse to clear his sinuses 4 months ago. He used it very aggressively 2 -3 times a day for a few days. At the same time, he developed severe ear ringing and ear noises. He has seen countless dr s. including a specialist. Most said it was labrnthytis (sp?) and it would take 3 months to go away. It hasn t and it is driving him crazy. The noises change and he wakes up in the morning with his ear screaming. He has never had this before in his life and it s been 4 months. I believe he pushed an infection into his inner ear with the sinus rinse. It was too much of a coincidence that it happened at the exact same time as the aggressive nose rinsing. We are at a loss for what to do. It is really affecting his quality of life. He has been on 2 bouts of antibiotics for it and it hasn t helped. He s 47 and good health otherwise. Any info. or advice would be greatly appreciated.
