This sounds like the tmj type. Probably most common type I've heard for muscular related, and even some ENTs will know about it
Grinding teeth at night is a common influencing factor, many other causes for tight tmj muscle
Scm area and neck-shoulder is a slightly lesser known but common category I've heard of where muscle s can influence tinnitus. I've heard forward neck posture and less developed core / & core breathing can be common influence for this kind, but similarly there many are other causes/influences. It also iirc stretches more than one muscle in the neck to shoulder that's common.
When learning more about these things, I liked a lot
1) "A multidisciplinary European guideline for tinnitus: diagnostics, assessment, and treatment"
2) Tufts eye and ear tinnitus seminar (video series from several years back)
Probably a few other resources, but those seem like the best to advertise on HN. There is extensive information elsewhere but more filtering required. E.g, some of the forums have great posts, but also a lot of other posts less great for general topic intro.
Sympathy and love, though, if anyone reading is having a hard time right now w/tinnitus. It can be difficult at times and in some circumstances. Id also like to note if you do have tinnitus and don't want to read more, that's ok too! For some people reading is the last thing they really need, and that's ok
