When You Have TTTS, Does the Muscle Still Protect from Loud Noises?

[Simon Czt]

Good morning, everyone!

I have a question.

When we have a TTTS (tonic tensor tympani syndrome), does the muscle still play a protective role when we are exposed to sudden loud sounds and/or exposed to loud sounds for several minutes/hours?

(I no longer expose myself to loud noises on purpose but you never know)

Thank you for your answer!

It should (as TTTS is just that muscle's threshold to be triggered being lower). But it isn't a lot of protection.
