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.
