Odds are that your tinnitus is related to noise trauma. Unlikely sinus wash played a part. Will not affect your hearing test results, can be matched by audiologist. Whether it resolves depends on further noise exposure and other incitors Use ear plugs/headphones if anticipate loud noise exposure. Can mask the tinnitus with fans, radio. at bedtime.
