I have "somatic tinnitus" where I can change the tone, frequency, and sometimes make it disappear altogether for a few days. This is a working theory, but it's supposedly caused by inflammatory arthritis (spondyloarthritis) in my cervical spine and other areas compressing nerves and arteries. I can also move the ligament in my C8-T1 spine, which causes all sorts of side effects but it can also resolve or make worse my tinnitus for several days. Sometimes just moving my neck towards one shoulder can also resolve or make worse my tinnitus. It's been like this for almost 10 years now with the worst of it starting about 5 years ago. Not many doctors are familiar with this condition, so as you can guess, I get a lot of looks like I'm crazy but it's legit happening. Not to mention this is the least of my neurological concerns. The US healthcare system thus far has been hugely disappointing in giving a damn beyond "yep, looks like you have to live with this forever".
