I don't agree with this. I certainly believe and experience a lower threshold for what causes my middle ear muscles to contract as a result of whatever damage happened to this ear. It doesn't have to be a particular value.

For me, sometimes anticipatory anxiety or anxiety caused by a distressing event causes a feeling of increased head pressure which tends to lead to fullness in the ear with other symptoms. There is autophony, which consists of hearing my voice within my head, some thumping in the ear...

Interested that I've found people who have the same symptoms as me. I've had all imaging, and there's no diagnosis. I want to get my ME muscles lasered away but how do I know it will solve it? The best in the UK has confirmed no microcompression. So what else could it be other than those damn...

Hopefully the fluid lasting there for all those days allows the healing properties to disburse fully where needed. I wonder if he could use a gel in the future as a way to improve patient experience as in this study. It would help the annoying sloshing problem: Role of Platelet Rich Plasma in...

Sounds like me, overreactive middle ear muscles. I suppose the cure would be tenotomy of these muscles --- if we are not prepared to wait for the never ending search for hearing regeneration or a cure for the nerve overactivity/damage. My MEM even rumbles when I scratch my head. I get pulsatile...

Is that the treatment fluid or mucus due to Eustachian tube problems before the treatment? My question was about your ear issues before starting treatment, if that makes sense. I think I saw a post of yours where you said you had middle ear exploration and that damaged your eardrum but I...

You may have missed this post in the other thread but would appreciate a response to this: "Good luck. Do you have any middle ear issues? Like pain, fullness, change in hearing, internal sounds etc? Would be interested to see if the PRP can have local healing to middle ear muscles, eardrum...

It's the only thing that can cause mine after various experts have ruled out anything else. The thing is, the only solution for me would be removal of the thyroid lobe without guarantee of cure. So I'm waiting for hearing medication for another 2 years. If there is nothing, I will take the...

Good luck. Do you have any middle ear issues? Like pain, fullness, change in hearing, internal sounds etc? Would be interested to see if the PRP can have local healing to middle ear muscles, eardrum, and local mucosa.

I cannot offer much but have your thyroid looked at for nodules or a goitre. I have pulsatile tinnitus like you, and the throat click. I have a goitre with normal thyroid labs. They discovered a carotid bruit but wouldn't tell me if that was the cause of my pulsatile tinnitus. What's next for...

What do you guys think about this being good for middle ear myoclonus issues? I have involuntarily rumbling of middle ear muscles from sounds, some internal sound autophony (not SCDS), TMJ nerve pain, single-sided facial nerve twitches around my ear and temple, and ear fullness. It's as if the...

Hi, Just wanted to say how revolutionary your work is. People never mention the middle ear as a cause of pulsatile tinnitus despite researching this for years in the past. Interesting that you recommended him as I was referred to Addenbrookes Cambridge. I looked at him in the eye while in the...

Sorry to hear that. Mr Boets told me if it doesn't work the first time, they try it on different areas of the TM. Will you try in a different area? What resonance symptoms do you get? We may have the same symptoms and can share anything positive we might find. For me vibrations from neck...

Did you have any signs of healing elsewhere in the body or are you in perfect health otherwise? Is tinnitus your only ear symptom?

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?
