High blood pressure is definitely a factor. I have tinnitus, and I notice that it gets worse when my bp is high. Was so bad a couple of months ago that I went to the Doc for a checkup. Sure enough, bp was 160/105. Headed in the right direction now, down to 135/95.

To anger a conservative, lie to him. To annoy a liberal, tell him the truth.
