This is not the first story I have heard of health issues brought on by Kundalini yoga, it seems quite risky. It would be an interesting topic for rigorous study, could teach us about the mind body connection, but I wonder if it could be done in an ethical manner. If I'm going to speculate wildly, given that tinnitus is linked to hearing loss, and can come from nerve damage, maybe the rising did somehow result in nerve damage? Hypoxia? Excitotoxicity? I'm sorry for your tinnitus and for the loss of your father.
