Yup. SBUTT is just the medical term for it. Maybe explore some facial exercises with a physio if it's causing you upset.

Nah, I already know that both facial nerves are damaged, and both vestibulochochlearis. So I know exactly what's causing my problems

My friend also told me that there will be an influx of funding for chronic illnesses that were previously considered incurable due to COVID-19 and medical advancements over the last couple years, especially mRNA.

I'd be willing to bet that any reported long term effects of COVID-19 will also find an influx of research, and luckily (for us) tinnitus is one of them. The New York Times hasn't published an article related to tinnitus since 2015, however with the numerous reports of COVID-19 related tinnitus, they published this in March 2021:

When the Noise Never Stops: Coping With the Challenges of Tinnitus

While it doesn't discuss any real treatments (because I DO NOT consider CBT, mindfulness, etc. like the article and most other resources reference as actual treatments,) I do like to see tinnitus get more media attention due to COVID-19.
