So, I have known that the functioning of my TT muscles in both ears has been aberrant for at least the past 2 years, and it has definitively contributed to hyperacusis, and sometimes other things. I have had a few cases of them 'jumping' in response to loud noises, and they also go off whenever I yawn, burp, or hiccup.
What has been happening in my case, is that any of the above occurrences most always result in some level of hearing loss and soreness in the ears after these events, especially after hiccups (low frequency hearing got a bad hit). That hearing loss seldom comes back to prior levels, and I almost wonder if the spasms could be exerting pressure on my inner ears, or taking advantage of some weakness where the stapes connects with the inner ear (aka possibly a fistula).
Anyone have ideas on the relation between the middle ear muscles and the functioning of the inner ear, or whether they could alternatively simply be causing conductive forms of hearing loss?
Thank you for the help and insight! It is greatly needed right now..
