Tinnitus+ache l ear.mri suggests impingement of l inferior cerebellar artery on the origin of l 9th nerve, but "does not explain all symptons" views?

No: The 9th cranial nerve is for sensation in the pack of the throat as well as for swallowing. It does not produce tinnitus nor does it produce any sensation in the ear.
