Tinnitus is weird. It can change from being fairly soft and presenting no issue at all to really very distracting by just thinking about it (in my case). I've found that thinking about it more than usual in, say, the morning, can result in your mind focusing on the specific frequencies the tinnitus manifests in, with these conscious-subconscious feedback loops resulting in it sounding far louder than usual for the rest of the day. Then, the next day, it's back to normal. I'd be interested in finding out more about this conscious-subconscious connection with tinnitus, because it's quite amazing how it can be forgotten about for a seemingly arbitrarily long period of time until the thought comes up. edit: or perhaps I shouldn't, for exactly this reason ;)
