Yes mate I find it gets worse too when crying. The same goes for laughing especially, and talking for more than a minute. I don't think it is emotion that causes it (but yes it may seem even worse when you're sadder), but mostly a pressure building inside your head and face with anything you do from the neck up (except blinking!).
On the few occasions I laugh nowadays, on each breath out, it goes worse, worse, worse. When yawning I go mostly deaf, and the ringing is 100 times louder. When I burp, it feels like balloons are being squeezed inside my ears. You already know that all the tubes and muscles in your head are linked somehow, and movements, I think, squeeze the damaged parts of the ears.
There's no avoiding this unfortunately, but if it hits you, when laughing for example, and stops you from feeling good that second, you have to forget about it, remember what you were laughing about. The best thing is keep talking with friends for long amounts of time somewhere it isn't quiet.
I find the condition does get worse when laughing/crying/talking even more so with how you are sat down. Don't slouch with your chin near your chest. Loosen the neck and take deep breaths.
