It is interesting how each of us experience it differently. I have yet to figure out all of the various triggers for me, but certainly a few. Sadly, I have found the only relief seems to be a good night sleep to allow the nerves to "reset".

I can definitely relate to your comments about tinnitus at its worst when your nervous system is firing. I have a CNS injury, accounting for my tinnitus, chronic insomnia etc. Thinking more about wind noise, perhaps subconsciously for me the wind noise while I'm riding is possibly just the right frequency white noise to cancel out my tinnitus. In any case, being out on the road is where I hardly notice my tinnitus at all.
