Here are things that make mine louder - loud noises (day after fireworks is awful for me), flying, headache, NSAID medications, asthma attack or congestion, swimming (I think it's the water pressure in my ears) and running. Walking and cycling don't seem to bother it.
Here are things that seem to make it better - white noise like a fountain, refrigerator or fan, relaxation exercises, acupuncture, stretching and massage - especially back and neck.

Thank you for sharing that information. I never could figure out why exercise made it worse. I think it might be the increased heart rate sending blood faster through the body including ears and brain. Like you NSAIDs make mine worse along with a cold or flu. I also have asthma but it is under control. Flying was a problem but using the Bose noise cancellation head phones are a must, otherwise I would not be able to fly. Ear plugs seem to make noise perception louder.
What is very important for me is a good night’s sleep. I use ear buds playing rain or wind and that helps me to sleep quite well all night. Also rushing and being in a hurry is really something I have to avoid.

Loud noisy environments are the worse for me. Massage around the ears face and neck helps especially when you have a glass of white wine afterwards.
