I saw a reference to this in another post where extended screen time makes tinnitus worse. As I was poking around in the forum, I noticed that my tinnitus is worsened right now. I never would have noticed if I hadn't read it in a post at the time I was experiencing it. Funny how you get used to things.
Now the big question...why does this happen?

There's next to nothing understood about tinnitus. Mine comes and goes without logical cause. Eating usually causes it to increase and a simple glass of water can too.

Thanks Mark, it is very mysterious! Mine gets worse if I put my tongue at the top of my upper teeth. Strange, indeed.
