Balloon Sinuplasty

[Patrickgpiper]

I am convinced that my tinnitus is a result of hearing loss resulting from allergies and chronic congestion. Would be interested in anyone who has had balloon sinuplasty and results. Was it effective and worthwhile? What did it cost? Did your insurance cover the procedure?

I didn't mean to turn this into an ENS post. It's a lot more than psychosomatic.

Here is a decent article(s) on it though if you are interested:

Did you have sinuplasty done? How is your tinnitus? I'm really curious since my ENT is recommending balloon sinuplasty to open my sinus.
