Ear Congestion Lowers Tinnitus Sound?

      Is that possible? Anyone ever experienced it?

      My tinnitus took a spike after using a bulb syringe *gently* to flush out some wax dissolving drops (done this before with no issues) a few weeks ago, but all of a sudden two nights ago, the sound began to drop dramatically. However, tonight, I am feeling some sort of congestion in my middle ears, and I was wondering if the congestion / fluid had something to do with diminished tinnitus.

      All of the comments I have read before tend to blame ear congestion for louder tinnitus.

      Just wondering if anyone can confirm this.
