Hi & welcome!
Trouble swallowing is one of the most common symptoms of ES, although not always as severe as yours sounds! Hopefully others who have had this symptom will chip in, I didn’t have that…
There’s lots of info about surgery, what to expect, questions to ask your doctor especially if they haven’t done many ES surgeries, suggestions of what to get ready beforehand etc, here’s a link:

Tinnitus does seem to be common with ES, but it can be caused for other reasons, so not necessarily caused by the styloids.
