If you have one in your area, I'd recommend seeing a PT that has their CFMT from IPA. It's a pretty specific form of PT that looks for deeper root causes of issues and that's the PT that was finally able to help me figure out and resolve mine.
I've had like 2/10 tinnitus for all my life, can't remember the last time I heard "silence".
Got a C5/C6 hernia a year ago, about 6 months after that MASSIVE tinnitus in my right ear and clear increase in the left. Like "can't hear shit" levels of noise.
Eventually I figured out that doing a basic shoulder workout + going on a walk eased it off in a few hours. A month ago, due to a doctor's suggestion, I discovered that taking muscle relaxants just before going to sleep a bit, I've woken up with maybe 3-4/10 tinnitus a few times.
Definitely a neck thing.
