Sinusitis/tinnitus: The nasal sinuses are connected to the inner ear canal via the eustachian tubes and nose. Any obstruction to the sinuses or the nose can affect the ears and cause tinnitus. Non surgical treatments include steroid nasal sprays, antibiotics, nasal antihistamines saline nose sprays, nasal lavage using a netty pot. See a good ENT who specializes in tinnitus for consultation.
