Susan, the body's chemistry responds to changes in oxygen in
respiration in order to keep the oxygen level correct in the
bloodstream. Unless you could barely breathe for some reason
because of a deviated septum, correcting it would not change the
oxygen supply to your ear.
Has your doctor looked for circulatory problems within the area
of the inner and middle ear? Sometimes these are found from
various imaging techniques, and sometimes a cure can be achieved.

The doctor said the deviation was very bad. He couldn't say whether this would
correct my tinnitus. The reason I think it might is because when I inspire a
deep breath, the t stops for a few seconds. Also, in the early stages of my
tinnitus, I went to an ENT and he put a tube up my nose and squeezed in some
air and the t went away for 24 hours. This happened again when I had surgery
and had oxygen tubes up nose. This also happens when I wear those nasal
bandages on and hit the treadmill. I originally thought it was a vascular
etiology and had an angiogram which was normal. I don't know if this is the
answer but I won't know for sure if I don't have it done. It would be ironic
if the answer was "as plain as the nose on my face".
Susan , I saw this article - thought it looks old - just wanted to know if operating on Deviated Septum helped you to get rid of Tinnitus ? thnks

I'm not not but I did get my deviated sceptum operated on twice - zero
change in my tinnitus.
