I've never thought of neck trouble having an impact, but now you mention it, my tinnitus did start around the same time I had an almighty whiplash. Hmm.
For the last 20 years it sounded like the 15kHz emitted by old CRT TVs - constant, faint, not really bothersome. Two years ago I had covid, and that seemed to have fiddled with the knobs, so to speak. Now the volume is cranked up to distracting levels, and it sounds almost exactly like this:
The only thing that seems to lower the volume a little bit is maintaining a regular sleep routine - 8-9 hours per night, same bed time every night. But of course, the ringing in my ears makes that nearly impossible.
I have this low level ring, also faint not really bothersome. Usually gets "louder" if I drink a bit. Have had it ever since I could remember.
