It seems there are a few things that may have caused it, based on what I have read about the possible causes.
1) A few months prior to the onset of my Tinnitus, which is only in my right ear, I was doing some exercises every day which last for a little over 14 minutes and are from martial arts, and are basically series of movements performed with total muscle tension all over the body for the whole thing, so imagine doing various strikes and kicks, slowly while tensing every muscle as hard as you can. I wonder if the increased tension did soetthing to the muscles in my neck which causesd the dTinnitus.
2) A few motnhs priort o it starting, I was also stretching a lot. I would spend hours each day sitting on the floor with my goal being to do the splits, and I would sit like that while watching TV in an effort to help my body get used to being in that position. It's possible that I had my neck tilted back at a asharp angle, and I read a post on this forum about someone who had the noise in their ear start after a dental procedure where they were laying with their head back for hours.
3) A few weeks prior to it stepping into my ear, I had two incidents on the same night involving my right ear. The first one was at a jam session where I leaned over to grab something right as a guy was warming up and a loud sound hit me in the right ear, granted the amp was pretty far away and it wasn't even a big amp, and then later that night I opened a beer bottle with a cork and it was right next to my right ear, and I noticed that everything sounded a bit softer for a few seconds after that. All of the 3 ear doctors I went to said that it is unlikely that it would be caused by acoustic trauma that took place more than a day or so before it started, and these things happened much more than that.
At first I thought it was probably the loud noises in my right ear, but now I wonder if ti was the exercising that caused it, since there was a lot of effort involved in that. I havn't done that workout since it began.
