Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / December 2007Tensor tympani Syndrome
I have been getting a fluttering sound in my ear...to me it feels like a small muscle tic happening in my ear for 10-15 seconds at a time at high speed. I have been reading about Tensor tympani Syndrome and this seems like it may be the thing...do my symptoms sound like that to anyone else who has it?  SignatureByron Hinson ActiveWin: http://www.activewin.com Photography: http://www.byronhinson.com I've just started getting this yesterday too. But it only happens when I swallow. It does not occur normally, but consistently happens when I swallow. > I have been getting a fluttering sound in my ear...to me it feels like a > small muscle tic happening in my ear for 10-15 seconds at a time at high [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > ActiveWin:http://www.activewin.com > Photography:http://www.byronhinson.com Does it seem to last for quite a number of seconds at high speed? Sorry for all the questions I've just never had this before and as I suffer from Anxiety and depression too it becomes a worry. I guess I could just have an ear infection but I don't have any pain, just possibly a bit of warmth inside my ear. Can an ear infection have these fluttering, muscle spasm like symptoms?

And, I guess, my sound would more accuratley be described as "crackling". Sounds like you might have something different than mine. I'm glad to hear there's no pain, which I think is a good sign. I think your symptoms could be caused by a minor ear infection. But, as always, that may or may not be the case. If your hearing becomes worse I still would not dread about it. Just have an ear, nose, and throat doctor check it out. I have had multiple days (possibly weeks) with muted hearing because of "fluid behind my ears". But it has gone away. Mineral unbalance is very common in muscle tick and spasm problems. Typically magnesium deficiency causing pH balance problems makes the muscles flutter, tick and spasm. People taking too much calcium can induce problems like this. Soda pop, with it's phosporic acid can unbalance your pH and make it too acidic, is a likely antagonist. >I have been getting a fluttering sound in my ear...to me it feels >like a small muscle tic happening in my ear for 10-15 seconds at a >time at high speed.

Byron that does sound like tensor tympani muscle spasm. Try the TMJ relaxation exercises at www.ent-consult.com. The 7th nerve innervatest the face and the tensor muscle and relaxation here can stop the spasm. If that doesn't work a clinic that does EMG biofeedback, with sensors placed on the Frontalis Muscle is extremely effective. |
