Can it somehow be related to having tight neck / jaw muscles?

When I got tinnitus after months of high stress, the ENT told me that all of my jaw clenching may have changed the pressure on the muscle that's connected to the inner ear, and that could be the cause. I never got a definitive answer about the cause, and that seems pretty common.

I've heard that TMJ can cause it as well.

Yes, that’s often pointed by doctors as either a potential cause or an amplifier.
