I hesitate to recommend this because of how woo woo it sounds, but... I had terrible pulsatile tinnitus (both sides) for over a year and half. I went to doctors, specialists, tried steroids, the works. I had to sleep with headphones to drown it out. Eventually my wife suggested I try craniosacral therapy. After the first session it started to get a lot quieter and even would "stutter" out for short periods of time. After the second session it disappeared and hasn't been back. The practitioner came from https://milneinstitute.com/what-is-vcsw/

Actually that's a good idea... My parents are literally ENT doctors so one thing they told me to try was simple neck massages/movements. Basically cradle the back of neck with your fingers, then slowly tilt head up and down. It improves blood flow, releases muscle tension, etc., and there's a chance this or the CST that you mention can help with some forms of tinnitus. Now that you've reminded me, I'll keep trying it, thanks!
