Please see this thread: This is middle ear myoclonus and I experience the exact same symptoms after burping. Although it sounds like you just get a thump and it doesn't turn into a series of thumps every few seconds the way some of us do...

Your story sounds very similar to what I have been experiencing over the past few years. However, I did not take any SSRI or similar medication. It all seems to have happened to me without any clear cause. Over the last four years, my symptoms have been building up — tinnitus, TTTS, random...

I now believe this is middle ear myoclonus. Tympanic Resonance Hypothesis At times my voice, pulse, and head movements resonate from my neck to my ear. Does anyone get these symptoms and had a diagnosis / cure?

@felinefine - do you experience fluttering of your eardrum or middle ear myoclonus?

I may be a bit late, but I recently read that stapedious myoclonus can cause clock-ticking like tinnitus. Maybe you want to read more about it?

...disinterested Doctors who wouldn't even consider differential diagnoses. Its all just tinnitus to them. I think it could be chronic middle ear myoclonus, particularly stapedial myoclonus, because I know that has been implicated in ongoing high frequency tinnitus going by some papers I've seen.

@Erin0830 if you go to an ENT he should know what middle ear myoclonus is. I took magnesium oxide for a couple of months and saw a little improvement. I know how lonely ear problems can be since we don't look sick people can't understand what we are going through :(. I'm in the US as well...

Hello! I hope someone is still active here. I might have Stapedial Myoclonus. I have a few links below, and I hope that someone can read them in detail and tell me if it is indeed Stapedial Myoclonus...

Something like what is described here: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/eardrum-vibration-tensor-tympani-myoclonus.1198/?

So I have been put on Clonazepam for the palatal myoclonus that started last month. The tinnitus is not spiking (knock wood).

Ear Myoclonus / idiopathic stapedial muscle spasm woke up to this shit this morning.. this is awesome :headphone:

I got full on middle ear myoclonus two hours after the first Amoxicillin pill. I am going insane, why is this happening?

Middle ear myoclonus is clicking tho isnt it? The videos I saw of that are not even close to low humming.

@Max_fcktr mine is not from sounds the spasm doesn't react to sounds and yes it's myoclonus.

Agh, so sorry to hear about that. :( Sounds sort of like middle ear myoclonus (Myoclonus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - have you had it since the operation or just recently? I experience vibration sensations in both my ears, my left ear I can attribute to tensor tympani syndrome, certain...

I found the answer to my question #2 by searching around the forum! It's called middle ear myoclonus. Below is a post made by ZZZK that led me to some great info. I encourage anyone else suffering with this weird problem to visit the thread he linked. I'm also gonna try and write my personal...

...muscle activity going on in there because I get occasional spasmodic pain in and under my ear. Sometimes though, and its a thing with TTTS/myoclonus and sound intolerance where it seems a bit of a chicken and egg argument. Does TTTS/myoclonus cause sound intolerance/sensitivity, or is it a...

...regular tinnitus. It is not continuous either. This makes me suspect a middle ear muscle problem, given the regular pressure and middle ear myoclonus symptoms in my ears. In my case, I do not hear the distortion inside my ears. It feels like these distorted sounds are coming from the source...

Happy new year everyone. :) Two days ago I had an MRI scan because of my palatal myoclonus. The machine was Magnetom Skyra 3T which SAYS it has the Quiet Suite feature, but I didn't feel it at all. Now I'm feeling needle like pain in my ear and I'm trying to not freak out. My tinnitus hasn't...

There seems to be some neural communication both afferent and efferent between the brain and the organs in the ear. I think this explains why people like me also suffer from myoclonus in the middle ear muscles.

The ticking sounds like middle ear myoclonus. Look that one up through the searches here. There's a few threads about it.

Hello! I hope someone is still active here. I might have Stapedial Myoclonus. I have a few links below, and I hope that someone can read them in detail and tell me if it is indeed Stapedial Myoclonus...

@Kaelon based on what you wrote would you say prednisone would work on someone with middle ear myoclonus?

I have Myoclonus in one ear only. Having a fan on at night and always sleeping on my side with that ear up in the air being exposed to the fan. It started as loud tinnitus and hyperacusis for 3 months. The symptoms were helped by a bioflavonoid/hesperidine/rutin complex(mere bioflavonoids didn't...

...easen my own, abit similar symptoms... If I wear earplugs, the bass like sound stays the same but the vibrations ease a little! With ear myoclonus and hyperacusis, ear muscles become hypersensitive and overreact to sounds, causinh vibrating myoclonus spasms. So, if I block outside sounds...

...etc. You can google search on them or go to youtube to watch some related videos or tutorials. As for your issue with middle ears myoclonus, if there are not enough responses from this Introduction section, you can post it at the main support forum for more exposure and readership. I...

I mean I can related to freaking out with hypochondriasis. I'm just a middle-ear myoclonus sufferer posting in the pulsatile section.

That is very interesting. Hopefully “rare” not meaning untreatable? Do you have any good threads on finding more information on this? I have had a quick look myself. I don’t have tapping or thumping but I do experience it every couple of years.

Can this be caused by an acoustic trauma?

Hey man, if it really is Stapedial Myoclonus, that's completely treatable and resolvable. I thought I might have had this based on the nature of my tinnitus sounds, but now I'm not so sure. Have you tried magnesium supplements or muscle relaxants? And finally, if you know for sure that what...

I don't know much about it. I've never heard of Prednisone being used to treat TTTS...

@Chelles - I'm thinking about it so strong and intensive, because maybe what we both have isn't middle ear myoclonus but palatal myoclonus, which is so subtle that almost impossible to be seen by the doctors but it causes the twitching of our eardrums. I wish it would be one of the palatal...

@BigNick Is it still improving day after day for you, you don’t have myoclonus anymore? And how is your tinnitus now after 6 weeks of treatment?

It gets used a lot for chronic muscle spasm in MS. Maybe some practitioners are taking the myoclonus contribution to Tinnitus more seriously?

@dan I have 3 symptom, crackling sound in the ears myoclonus in left ears duo acoustick shock and small tinnitus

Guys with myoclonus, do you have a feeling of pressure in ears as well or it's just feeling of trembling when muscle vibrates?

Apparently there is a study showing that Levetiracetam has been used to treat people suffering from middle ear myoclonus. It makes sense to me that it eliminated my TTTS... this is my 3rd day or so with absolutely no spasms.

I had never heard of NAC until I found this thread. My tinnitus came on from a middle ear surgery that I had to cure my middle ear myoclonus. My tensor tympani and stapedius muscle were cut in my right ear which has left me without protective muscles to dampen loud noises and makes me fearful of...

...been examined yet and I have no idea what I have beyond the multi rings/tones, high-squeals and ears cracking at sound, is it hearing loss, middle ear myoclonus, hyperacusis, etc? Does anyone here have any tips or advice for seeing him and getting to be a part of his clinical trials? Thank you.

My ear rings like a subwoofer when I talk sometimes. Stapedial Myoclonus is not as bad as T bud it does get annoying sometimes.

Sorry I should’ve specified mem is middle ear myoclonus. I’m quite skeptical on trying the muscle relaxants because they indicate that it can cause ringing in the ears and I don’t want to make that worse. As for surgery it’d be very last resort but cutting the tensor tympani and stapedius. He...

When you say objective tinnitus, do you mean other people could hear it? How would you describe your sound pain to me? Was your broadband hiss high pitched or middle pitched? How old are you, did an audiometry show ''hearing loss'' when you had the middle ear issues?

Thanks Dana...can my Eustachian tubes be fixed? Do I have any options like Botox or surgery?

...at UCH London ENT department last week. I got a phone call follow-up appointment today and was told they think I've got Middle Ear Myoclonus. My tinnitus has been off the scale and now things make sense as to why it's so bad. I don't know what's next. I'm so desperate I can't explain. I...

Best of luck mate, let us know how it goes.

Hello, I have what seems to be Stapedial Myoclonus (not confirmed, but signs seem to point to it), which leads to Dysacusis, and I have had ETD for years now. I don't know if it's still ETD or PET I'm having now though. All of this, is on my right side. Sometimes, when I breathe in through my...

I also get a vibrating sound, usually before going to sleep, but it is only in my right ear. I feel as though it's a muscle vibrating somewhere near there, and it only happens if I don't 100% relax my facial and neck muscles.

Maybe Danny Boy had a myoclonus of some sort that affected his ear through an afferent nerve European Journal of Paediatric Neurology Year:2009 Month: Day: Volume:13 Issue:supp-S1 First page:0 Last page:0 P196 Early onset palatal myoclonus with objective tinnitus and ear click responsive to...

My Boss there is deaf in one ear from a real live acoustic neuroma. Middle ear myoclonus on steroids from the way she describes it.

I think the botox shot for the roof of the mouth is for palatal myoclonus not sure it would work for the tensor tympani muscle.

@Hariz Nonis what did the ENT say about the myoclonus? I'm still dealing with it too - thought it was getting better but not so sure anymore.

Did the Clonazepam help your palatal myoclonus?

I'd also stop, but what should i tell my neurologist? We are at a loss as to what will stop the myoclonus.

Aren't they the same thing?

Thankfully my tinnitus isn't affected by foods however I try to stay away from crunchy foods like Cheetos since it sometimes it makes my myoclonus act up.

Hi, yes, it is called Middle Ear Myoclonus. There is a lot of detail on my surgery in the Pulsatile Tinnitus category here: Pulsatile Tinnitus Gone After Tenotomy of Middle Ear Muscles

there is a thread already opened about this problem; https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/myoclonus-of-the-middle-ear-stapedius-muscle-and-tensor-tympani-surgery.3924/#post-173428

Can this cause my ear to not hear certain sounds?
