Are you referring to cervical spine issues causing tinnitus? I have this (cervical spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease and myelopathy spinal cord injury) and had 2 ACDF spinal surgeries. I believe this plus my small fiber neuropathy has caused some hearing loss, too. My cervical spine compression also caused daily headaches and neck/shoulder/shoulder blade pain and many symptoms in arms/legs/bladder.

Yes. I have had tinnitus for quite a while. Do not remember when I first noticed it, but have a new hearing aid that I hoped would help, but doesn't do much. Two years ago I was in a car wreck. The scans showed degenerative disc disease around the C2 and C3 area. I feel a little tingle from time to time. I have found info online about tinnitus being caused by this because it affects nerves around the ear. Still not real clear on it. I just found this info so have not brought it up with the man who fitted me with the hearing aid. I will not be surprised if he has never heard of it.

I am sorry about the problems you have endured. Your hearing loss issue fits with the cervical tinnitus problem.
