When you twist your head around, do you hear a grinding noise? For me, it’s almost like a cardboard box being dragged across a sandy floor. It is a real noise because I’ve been able to record it with my phone.

I also have tinnitus. I wonder if it’s all related?

In your case, it might just be. Tinnitus due to TMJ, tight neck muscles, etc is very common, and in all those cases it is curable by treating the underlying mechanical issues.
