Caution for neti pot use -— NEVER use with tap water. Don’t have the link, but several months ago, there was a story about a woman who had gotten a deadly brain infection from using a neti pot. Apparently, her water supply had some bacteria in it, and it got into her brain through her nasal passages. I use an over the counter steroid nasal spray, when I get sinus congestion that affects my ears. I had a clicking sound in my ears for months, and it finally dawned on me that it was related to chronic sinus congestion, and after using the spray for several weeks, it stopped. Sometimes I get a little white noise from congestion. The spray stops it. If course, my problem is related to congestion, not noise damage.
