TMJ. This sounds pretty severe though, most people don't have spasms. You need to be evaluated by a TMJ specialist. I have TMJ trouble but it just pops and sometimes hurts when it pops. It gets more severe the more crunching the bones do. A TMJ specialist can make splints and things you can wear to adjust your bite so you don't crunch those bones together as much and cause as many problems or as severe.

See your dentist about the TMJ, and your doctor about the tinnitis. There are treatments for both ailments, and they may or may not be related.

Ask your dentist. There is treatment for it.
