Hey Hariz. I unfortunately think I might be developing myoclonus. My tinnitus started because I took anti-psychotic meds. But the past couple of days I've been hearing clicking noises. What symptoms do you have?

@Danny Boy i don't know if trobalt can help it and there are many causes for pulsatile tinnitus mine is objective caused by middle ear myoclonus.

Hope so. ETD seems easily addressed. Myoclonus seems more complicated but I’m pretty sure that’s not what this is. I’ve been really stressed and not sleeping so I’m sure that’s not helping. Seeing an ENT today. Will report back.

I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling with tinnitus. It can be frustrating, especially when it affects your sleep. Have you tried any relaxation exercises? I know it's hard to get motivated with only three hours of sleep, but try avoiding medication and watching your sodium intake. Stay...

Augmentin gave me palatal myoclonus within an hour of taking it. I am mortified. My GP told me today that "it's not a big problem", and denied any connection to the drug. How is your tinnitus now?

I've been on clonazepam for 23 yrs to treat generalized myoclonus. While it allows me to function daily without constant movement I can attest that it does nothing for my tinnitus.

Yeah man I have no idea. How long have you had that?

@Street Spirit i have middle ear myoclonus and is not induced by noise, it drives me nuts spasming away for hours sometimes days. Have you tried any treatments?

Because he's trying to make sure it's not pulsatile tinnitus or middle ear myoclonus, which isn't technically real tinnitus.

...seeing a neurologist next week and getting a second opinion from an ENT specialist by the end of the year. My impression is that I may have myoclonus. If it’s in a constant state of spasm, it could be difficult to identify during an examination, so it might not always present objectively...

@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.

For the most part. It does seem to come back at night while I sleep though. I can feel it when I get up to go to the bathroom. When I get up in the morning I'm thankful that it's gone.

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.

I did not know this; this is helpful/comforting.

Hello. I have middle ear myoclonus and live between London and Sydney. Has anyone had a tenotomy of the tensor tympani and/or stapedius muscles in either city and can please mention the surgeon? Thank you!

Have you tried muscle relaxers?? It will go away... give it some time.

I have stapedial myoclonus and it feels like a bug is in my ear and then my ear feels warm and wet. The sound it makes it's more like a tick sound.

...symptoms. But I also have a very strong feeling of pressure in ears which I suspect is some kind of pathology in muscles as well, probably myoclonus itself. The feeling of pressure I have 24/7 and it's stronger in one ear than another, and it travels between the ears in response to the noise...

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. :)

I have one, yeah; I recently started using it again. I don't know if my myoclonus problem is in the brain or some peripheral nerve, so we'll see if I get any results.

Yes, it can.

How I can know if I have palatal myoclonus or stapedium myocloni. I haven't the palatal myocloni of this vídeo (youtubbe). I feel a mosquito=fly=butterfly. Which doctor know about it? thanks

I have middle ear myoclonus and it feels like thumping in the ear but doesn't go with the heartbeat. The only way I stop mine is by putting my finger in my ear.

So I have been prescribed Oxcarbazepine for my palatal myoclonus, and I'd like to know if it's ototoxic. Google search doesn't suggest so, but I was wondering if anyone here has taken Trileptal and if it has affected their tinnitus. Thank you.

...and the Valsalva maneuver makes me wonder if your tensor tympani muscle is overly reactive (TTTS). This could be related to middle ear myoclonus (MEM) or a somatosensory-driven tinnitus issue. The relief you got from micro-suction ear cleaning, even if temporary, is interesting. Possibly, a...

It didn't. I went to a different neurologist and she prescribed Etifoxine. I hope it helps. Thank you for asking @annV. Hope you are well. :)

You don't have recruitment from the info you have supplied Differential diagnosis likely to be Eustachian tube dysfunction or middle ear myoclonus where the stapedial or tensor tympani muscles are twitching - most likely the stapedial given the rumble

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.

I had e-consultation with Dr. Bance. He is very kind, patient, good listener. Even if your myoclonus or TTTS thumping is not evident by diagnostic measures (otoscope, objectively listening, or tympanogram)-- If the symptoms match -- he would be comfortable operating. He's had 12 surgeries and...

I have a clicking noise in my right ear that sounds like typewriter keys. It is not typewriter tinnitus. It’s very intermittent and if I sleep on that ear it can worsen.

Tinnitus caused by otosclerosis, or by middle ear myoclonus, just to name 2 of the middle ear conditions that can cause T.

The study (66) Liu HB, Fan JP, LIN SZ, Zhao SW, Lin Z. Botox transient treatment of tinnitus due to stapedius myoclonus: case report. Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2011;113:57-8

Hi, as someone going through something similar (suspected Stapedial Myoclonus), may I know how you got TTTS? How long has it been, and how have you been coping?

...my both ears, and it can last from a few minutes to several hours. It's painful and worsens my hyperacusis. I've been told it's middle ear myoclonus but they don't know any good treatment for it in Finland. Muscle relaxant are usually ineffective. My ENT mentioned something about Botox...

I also have ear myoclonus and I find it way more annoying than my high pitched T.. probably because the muscle spasms are so rapid and hurt my ears, and worsen my hyperacusis. At first they didn't last more than an hour or so, but now I have them almost all the time.. I've had pulsatile tinnitus...

I have palatal myoclonus among so many other oral problems caused from one dental visit. I can't use clonazepam as it interferes with other health conditions. I read all your links @Lane above before and I can remember each picture so clearly.

...hear some vibration in the roof of my mouth and back of throat. When this happens I will get some ear vibration. This is probably palatial myoclonus. Sometimes I also can hear my thyroid vibrate, but no feeling of irregular blood flow within my vertebral artery and jugular vein which was...

...He also apparently checks for an excessively mobile stapes according to recent reports on facebook. The nervous system can be peripheral. Myoclonus can be from damage to the peripheral system. It can be from otitis, it can be because the eustachian tube is injured, it can be because the jaw...

No idea. I guess it couldn't hurt though.

@mermaid I wish I knew the answer to this as I feel like I can also control the movement of the muscles in my middle ear. I never had this before until the myoclonus started.

Yes, Nasonex helped me. It doesn't matter now, since my GP fucked it all up by causing me palatal myoclonus (from Amoxicillin).

@walkthroughwalls are you still having this problem? I have stapedial myoclonus and I tried one muscle relaxant flexeril and it didn't help. I am currently taking magnesium and that seems to help a little bit.

...setting and the voice being directed towards the ear, or else there is no fluttering. It's really distressing and feels like the ear is gonna burst or something. My guess is that this is TTTS (not Middle Ear Myoclonus). I can plug this very ear to stop that fluttering, not the other one, though.

Yes. TTS and/or stapedius myoclonus, hyperacusis, tinnitus etc can all be symptoms of ASD (Acoustic Shock Disorder). http://www.hyperacusis.net/other-factors/acoustic-shock-disorder/

I know how you feel. I'm struggling too, a lot. My ear myoclonus is so severe today. :( Don't give up!!!!

So today I don't have tinnitus problems, but I am worried that the myoclonus is not slowed down by the medication. Maybe it's too soon to see the effects.

...The stapedius muscle when overactive, causes a high-pitched "tick" sound. See the tinnitus page for more detail about stapedius muscle myoclonus. Sounds that the auditory nerve can make is a thump, typewriter sound and Morse code. Blocking the ear canal with plugs usually will not stop...

I haven’t had the surgery but Gerald Brookes is a London based surgeon with the relevant expertise. If you Google his name together with ‘myoclonus’, you should find some links. In my case, low doses of rivotril combined with stress reduction eventually resolved the issue.

My ear aches from time to time with the (suspected) Middle Ear Myoclonus that I have. Sometimes it feels like the ear canal, sometimes it feels like something past the eardrum (Eustachian Tube, Stapedius, etc. I'm not even sure). Is there anything that this could point to?

@Ornitoring how long have you had the myoclonus? Mine is going on 9 months and it's finally getting a little better....I wouldn't do the surgery just yet do your research for me the risk aren't worth it.

Wether it cures tinnitus or not I don't know, however magnesium was the only thing that helped (a little bit) with my middle ear myoclonus, so I wouldn't write it off completely not to mention is a mineral that we need.

@Lucy B i feel a twitch which makes a click sound that when I put my finger in my ear it goes away. I was diagnosed with stapedial myoclonus. Was your tapping 24/7? Mine comes and goes.

Hello everyone, hope you are doing well. So it's been a tough year for me. A few months after my tinnitus was gone, I got palatal myoclonus (in April), presumably because of amoxicillin, but it is still unclear and it hasn't stopped. The thing is, when my palate moves of course the ears spasm...

...implies both things. Supersmooth doesn't seem to talk so much about sensibility but about sound-independent thumps. The biggest study on myoclonus is made by a bunch of south koreans, and they seem to possibly be treating both kinds. And I'm quite sure Lib and JoeM had both kinds. And I...

Yes, that is a very weird symptom, but as you mentioned, it could be stapedial myoclonus. If I were you, I'd hold off pushing for more tests right now, and see if the symptoms subside any. Then, if it is still bothering you, you could seek out a second opinion. If you do go for that second...

I sometimes experience the same in both ears. But only after my NIHL. I can feel and hear my eardrums being moved by (what I assume) the small muscles.

...message meant to say ''In addition there are recent reports of sound sensitivity cured through tenotomy by Sismanis before he retired WITHOUT the classical myoclonus proof on the eardrum or a tympanogram'' On and thanks a lot for introducing grommets and for your very interesting website ''

I've been diagnosed with middle ear myoclonus, but I suspect I have Eustachian tube issues as well. This has been going on for roughly 6 months. The ENT who diagnosed me with it never even scoped me, and while they did a tympanogram that came back normal you can still have Eustachian Tube...

...of your struggles because I deal with the same problem or at least similar. I had surgery at OHSU in Portland Oregon for middle ear myoclonus on my left side in November of 2018, just 4 months after having my second daughter. I had been dealing with the myoclonus on a limited basis for a...
