If it feels like an eardrum is thumping or fluttering, it's probably Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome (TTTS). I have that intermittently as well, sometimes spontaneous thumps and sometimes fluttering due to sounds (voices, typing). Sometimes the thumps even happen for a while when I wake up in...

...of years. You could ask your GP to prescribe you a handful of Clonazepam to see if it takes the fluttering away, which might help confirm it’s TTTS, but you’ll have to twist his or her arm probably to do this, and they aren’t a long term treatment solution. You’ll get all sorts of...

...symptoms came, like rumbling and thumping in my right ear. A visit to Google University quickly came up with Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome (TTTS). Needless to say, everything I read has made me beyond anxious and fearful that my life is now ruined. Most recently, that has progressed to my...

Maybe because your symptoms are not noise / trauma induced? Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAEs) In Tinnitus Patients Audiograms are irrelevant for tinnitus diagnosis. This electrical snakepit painnitus is not in my brain, I can feel the nerves burning. Tinnitus (just the sound)...

My DPOAEs are fine, which means OHCs are healthy; I have tinnitus, hyperacusis, and TTTS.

...getting out of that continuous fight-or-flight mode. The more alert we are, the more nervous the auditory system will be. This will also bring TTTS to the surface. Time and patience are essential. Using soothing soundscapes - preferably natural if possible. Being outdoors. I got out even on...

My distortions are completely gone but the TTTS is still there, along with hyperacusis, over 85-90 decibels, sometimes 100 decibels, when it comes to other frequencies.

No, I don't have TTTS.

Sorry to hear that. I've heard from Dirk de Ridder that either N or T-type calcium channel blockers (I don't remember which one he said) can worsen tinnitus. Amlodipine also blocks N-type calcium channels so maybe the worsening is because of that. I don't have TTTS.

...worsened, how would you describe your improvements from then? Did your tolerances come back fast? What did you do to improve? In regards to TTTS, is it solely activated by sound or do you ever get it from touching your face/head or certain movements? Do you think you have good posture? Are...

Do you have TTTS, and if yes, has anything you have tried helped out with that?

No, it sounds like TTTS - and usually ease up with time (or go into complete remission).

50's. If it doesn't feel like it's in your ear, then it's probably not TTTS. I can easily tell the difference between the eardrum flutters & thumping compared to my low and high frequency tinnitus sounds. I have had distortions in the past when my tinnitus worsened two years ago, where some...

I believe I do have TTTS since I can occasionally feel a thumping / clicking when I hear sudden and louder sounds. When I hear the whooshing noise though, there is no physical feeling at all - do I have to feel a physical sensation for the whooshing noise to be TTTS?

And how is your reactive tinnitus, @Jupiterman? @RunningMan, I have been following your story and can relate to many of your struggles. May I ask your age?

I at times experience something similar in response to voices where I will hear it in my left ear. It's TTTS. I describe it as a fluttering or thumping, but someone might call that a wind sound. And keyboards are known to trigger some people with TTTS.

...some days. On bad days it still has LDLs around 90-100 dB. My left ear is a little worse, hard to say, but I think the biggest problem here is TTTS. The muscles in my ear are responding to nearly everything. So the left ear is still sensitive but it's more a frequency-based muscle...

...Here's the thing, when you do leave the house, you will unavoidably run into loud noise that will put you into a panic. With hyperacusis and TTTS it can cause serious discomfort and pain... but you will be ok. You're dealing with a whole whirlwind of challenges — hyperacusis, tinnitus...

I was given Hydroxyzine for anxiety before Sertraline -- didn't work for anxiety or sleep. Guess I'm just special. Thanks for your input. I really do need to get out of the house, thankfully it's starting to warm up here which makes that not only easier but enjoyable. Thank you for the...

...wear them every time I play with my toddler, when they cry, or at "high risk" times like diaper changes and cleaning up after meals. (I do have TTTS/mild loudness hyperacusis too). If your daughter is bothering you, these are a good option. You don't have to use them all the time. I hit one...

...being stuck in my own head at home with the inescapable ringing. I have sound sensitivity only in my right ear (hyperacusis ), and it's produced TTTS pain and tension on that side of my face so now I have this gnarly combo of tinnitus, hyperacusis, central pain, and have associated sound with...

I have low and high-frequency tinnitus, TTTS, hyperacusis, hearing loss, anxiety, and insomnia. But my TTTS is usually not much of an issue, and my hyperacusis is mild. I'm still dealing with anxiety 2 years since my worsening. It tends to be the worst early morning, starting before I even get...

So I was having TTTS thumping when I heard normal loud high-frequency sounds, and it seems like decreased sound tolerance now. Recently, I have not gotten the thumping but a tensor tympani type of growl when those sounds occur and a tightening of the eardrum. My daughter play screaming, utensils...

Hey fellow TTers, I'm about 3.5 months into moderate to severe reactive tinnitus and TTTS. While I can confidently say I am dealing with it better, I have a base level of anxiety that never really goes away. I feel guilty when it saps my attention. I'll be working and it just grabs me like a...

@ErikaS How is your vibration feeling (TTTS) that you had back in October coming along? Has it lessened?

I also have that, and it will persist at home if it's quiet, but the intensity varies. But I have heard it away from home when it was quiet and calm out, but usually just at home. It's very different from my TTTS which is either fluttering of the eardrum or individual thumps of the eardrum.

Since the start of my permanent mild tinnitus (+ several other ear issues like TTTS, MEM, etc.) 3 years ago, I have had a lot of SBUTTs. Like A LOT. I remember in my previous non-tinnitus life, I maybe had like 1-2 SBUTTs in a whole year. Now I mostly get SBUTTs a few times a week, many times a...

@cris, welcome on board! It could be tensor tympani syndrome (TTTS). This is often stress-related and is often set off by stress. Speaking of my own experience. I've had this on and off for a long time. Like an engine idle in the distance - and a vibrating feeling from time to time (that...

How do you decipher what is TTTS versus hyperacusis versus pain hyperacusis. The ringing I could give 2 shits about, but the problem is it's borderline inseparable from the sensitivity to sound, the discomfort in my ear, the tightness, the fullness, the cramp sensation I get deep in the ear...

...my ears always feel so much worse after prolonged periods of silence. When I was actively protecting my ears and avoiding all everyday sounds, TTTS was raging and my ears were so damn fatigued. So is there any adequate reason why I should go back to this state? When I am attending bars or...

So no hearing loss, huh? That probably improves your odds for improvement. I also have TTTS. That's actually a type of MEM, usually associated with fluttering or thumping sounds, and I experience both, although the fluttering only occurs with external sound stimulus, and the thumps are...

...concerts or clubs or other loud events. In the first few months, I did use earplugs a lot, and I strongly believe this is what contributed to my TTTS. Once I got rid of them and stopped fearing the sounds, my ears gradually stopped being that fragile, and TTTS has almost disappeared. It's not...

...heard clicking on 3 out of 5 swallows. Jerking of the soft palate which was happening 90% of when I was talking and almost on any neck movement. TTTS which was triggered by my wife's speech in a silent room, my own voice, dish clenching, keys, water running etc. Middle ear myoclonus in my...

...says ETD self-resolves. Based on many things I've read, I feel like it's possible the reaction I had damaged nerves that somehow impact the TTTS symptoms I'm having + tinnitus. The thing is the more I think on it, I had symptoms of TTTS for months, I believe even possibly a year before ever...

Thanks for coming back to share an update and I'm happy to hear you're still doing well on the hyperacusis front! Is Clomipramine the first thing you tried that helped with hyperacusis? Did you specifically take it for the purpose of treating the hyperacusis? How long did you suffer with...

...in darkness or when I close my eyes. I guess it started sometime when I was on 150 mg. It is relatively mild, so it's easy to ignore. All other side effects stopped the week I stopped the medication. Overall, I've had a great experience with Clomipramine. It did not affect my tinnitus and TTTS.

...compared to the high-frequency tinnitus that I have now, so I normally don't bother trying to mask the low-frequency tinnitus anymore. I've had TTTS also since June, but it's very different from this low-frequency tinnitus. The TTTS is more fluttering or individual thumps that can happen in...

...Bad sleep and stress are known triggers to me, and of course, if I get struck by some loud, sudden noise exposure. But yes, for most, it (TTTS) will go, eventually, if you can get in control of your stress levels and hypervigilance - and last, but not least, stop monitoring it. I know all...

TTTS is worse than tinnitus. Can KV7 drugs relax these muscles? Kv7.4 maybe.. Or maybe these drugs curing hyperacusis could help with ttts?

As it was said above, this sounds like TTTS where some muscle (tympani tensor or stapedius muscle) in your ear flutters/spasms/thumps when the ear receives a short/clicky/high-pitched/unexpected sound. It also usually happens with kitchen stuff, light knobs, but also with human, especially...
