So, I've had a strange problem in my ear that appears muscle related along with other ear problems.
If I laugh somewhat or cry just a little bit, I get a kind of thumping in my right ear as if my eardrum is vibrating. It can also happen when I am straining to some degree, or getting really angry and clenching my teeth. That thumping sound soon after precipitates very loud T and hearing loss in whatever frequency the T is at. It is as if I just got exposed to a firecracker going off!
It seems as if my tensor tympani, or my staepedus muscle is going into spasm because of other muscles in my face/head contracting at the same time, thus this would be a great example of TTTS. However, I am very confused as to why the hearing never comes back.
Does this sound like an example of TTTS, or some other, more permanent condition?
Thank you for the help!
