    My Left Ear "Vibrates" for No Reason

    It's probably Tensor Tympani Syndrome. You can probably make it happen at will (Not permanently) by yawning too hard. Middle ear Myoclonus is more of a popping sound.

    Depressed — Tensor Tympani Syndrome Taking Over My Life

    @OPlax If I am understanding you correctly, it seems more likely that you have middle ear myoclonus than TTTS. TTTS spasms occur only when people hear sounds at a level capable of setting off the spasm (and that level is different for everyone, and can be different depending on the time of...

    Can Drugs (Olanzapine/Zyprexa) Cause Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome (TTTS)?

    Is Trileptal (Oxcarbazepine) Safe for Someone with Tinnitus?

    I really don't want to try botox, it's very expensive, and you have to inject it every 5 months. I want to try and stop the myoclonus with meds. It was medically induced, so I don't have organic damage of the CNS. I was really hoping that the Trileptal wasn't ototoxic... Thank you for the reply.

    Middle Ear Myoclonus: A Treatable Cause of Objective Tinnitus

    Middle Ear Myoclonus are symptoms presumably caused by the dysfunctional movement of either of the two muscles that insert in the middle ear: tensor tympani and stapedius.

    Amocla (Augmentin) Spiking Tinnitus — Will It Return to Baseline?

    Long-Term Tinnitus Recently Worse (Or Am I Imagining Things?)

    It is completely random. And it is ever so quiet. Just a very soft click almost. No trigger than I can tell but my ear has been "popping" more than usual. It doesn't seem to fit the bill of myoclonus and feels more like a tube issue. It's terribly annoying.

    Certain Random Sounds Make My Eardrum Vibrate — Hyperacusis?

    @Backpacker, yes, it was gone after an ENT gave me Nasonex. I had eustachian tube dysfunction. However, this April I developed palatal myoclonus, which causes clicking in my ears. So that's why I have problems with tinnitus again.

    Botox, Tenotomy and Tympanic Neurectomy for Noxacusis

    Has Anyone Taken Haloperidol? Does It Affect Your Tinnitus?

    So I have to take Haloperidol along with Tizanidine for palatal myoclonus. But having past experiences with antipsychotics, I'm afraid to take the Haldol (active ingredient Haloperidol). Has anyone here taken Haloperidol, and does it cause spike in your tinnitus? Thank you. :)

    Poll: Which of the Following Would You Describe as Hyperacusis?

    Seems to me that the definition of hyperacusis alternates between outright loudness and searing frequency shifts, sometimes with blending of the two. I think that physical pain occurs when myoclonus comes along for the ride.

    Tinnitus and Inner Ear Spasm in Response to Some Sounds

    It might be your stapedius (over)contracting, which is a type of middle ear myoclonus. The role of the stapedius is to dampen loud sounds via contraction (tympanic reflex). For some reason yet to be understood the loudness threshold is lowered in some people, and this causes the stapedius to...
