Tinnitus, Sinus Problems and Humming

bowl of hot soup - things that help with sinus problems and tinnitus concept

If you developed tinnitus after a sinus infection, you may wish to try humming or chanting (loudly, with your mouth closed) for at least 15 minutes, three times a day, for a minimum of two weeks. 

Actually, even if you don't think sinusitis was the tinnitus culprit, go ahead and hum -- it can't hurt. Not only does the extra air rushing through the nasal cavities help reduce the risk of sinus infections, but the level of nitric oxide production increases by some 15 times. And that's good. 

People with healthy sinuses usually have high levels of nitric oxide levels (nitric oxide being the body's response to inflammation). The sound vibrations created by the humming or chanting moves the air between the sinus membranes and nasal passages. 

It's actually this air movement that allows sinuses to drain properly, which in turn is how the risk of sinus infections is reduced. 

 If you do notice a decrease in the noise of your tinnitus, you then may want to consider modifying your diet too by avoiding mucus-forming dairy products and drinking lots of hot soups and herbal teas to thin the mucus, and relieve any congestion or sinus pressure.
