Brief Answer:
Can be due to Jaw joint related problem

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for the query.

Well, many a times if you have teeth grinding habit then it can cause problems with the jaw joint .

This can lead to Tinnitus, that can be a common cause other than ear related problems.

So first of all consult an Oral Physician and get evaluation and a Panoramic x ray has to be done..

Accordingly the cause can be ruled out and treated.

Please let me know for more questions..

Thanks.
