Its worse because of your cold. The air pressure in your ear rises during a cold as your sinuses swell. Some people find taking an antihistamine (allergy relief) tablet can help as it reduces the swelling. After your cold disappears the tinnitus may carry on for a few days, this is also normal. Oh and drink pleanty of water.
