The tag in my signature is a twist on my favorite line in the movie "The Gods Must Be Crazy" which is probably my favorite movie of all time. The actual line is; "Does the noise in my head bother you?"
I've been wondering if blood pressure effects the tinnitus. if there's ever a cure I'd like to be first in line. I've mostly learned to ignore it or pretend it's not there. But at times it's extremely loud and irritating. My wife and I recently quit doing a gig once a week in a multipurpose room (YMCA basketball court). Between the terrible sounding room and the noise in my head I was irritated to the extreme just about the time we finished setting up. It was difficult to keep a good attitude. I actually grew a bad attitude/grudge/prejudice about playing there. It was no longer enjoyable. That, among others, was one of the main reasons we were not sad to quit.

Does the noise in your head bother me ?
