Hot Bath — Tinnitus Reduction

I'll take my blood pressure at the next hot bath ;). What I already know - the pulse rises clearly at high temperatures, but maybe this is a counter-regulation in case of a drop in blood pressure...:dunno:

Your pulse certainly raises with low pressure. I learnt this during the traumatic birth of our last child, right before the blood transfusions.
 
I have had the most horrible week of screeching tinnitus and still have it currently (going completely crazy) however last night I decided to have a bath instead of a shower and it certainly reduced the tinnitus. It was only short lived but I was wondering what it is about the bath, blood flow and relaxation of the muscles around the jaw/ear I guess, but I could be wrong!
I'm guessing it has nothing to do with blood pressure. I also think that it is caused by a change in anatomical structures (nerves, muscles, connective tissue).

I am also not sure, but I have often experienced the observation that a hot bath helps.
However, my tinnitus can be modulated very strongly somatically (amplification).
 
Today 8/10 tinnitus-horror all the time, - hot bath 40 minutes, slept 5 minutes, tinnitus now 2/10 !!
This can no longer be a coincidence, as I have experienced it several times (but there were exceptions).
It should be examined scientifically.
 
I have been having baths every evening for the last few days and it certainly seems to be helping me (I normally just have showers) - I have a big problem with relaxation and stress and I think the hot baths help me relax - Since tinnitus onset 5 months ago I have been logging both sleep quality and blood pressure (things that tinnitus has impacted adversely on) and the hot baths have been helping on both counts.
