They also found it interesting, but as to why is this happening? No ideas. I shared this with my ear and nose doctors. So…an interesting discovery, and confirms that this is a physical phenomenon. A muscle actually pounding on the eardrum over and over. (OMG) Not pulsatile, not typewriter tinnitus.
Fast, hard thumping that runs in continuous "phrases" of arrhythmic thumps with a few seconds in between each "phrase". Just like cats and dogs, when they stretch, reposition and go back to sleep.Įt voila! Those stretches turned out to be the trigger for my MEM attacks! There is is a vibration that rises up my body in sync with the foot-to-head stretch… and when the vibe gets to my head, the spasms are triggered. I began looking for more about the yawn connection, and discovered an autonomic response called sleep pandiculation - those feet-to-head, full-body stretches we do when waking up from sleep - and sometimes during the wee hours when transitioning out of deep sleep. This was my first a-ha discovery, as I knew that sometime full-body yawns or small burps (not belches) during the day would trigger the spasms (although the spasms were brief, unlike when lying down on my back, which is how I sleep). 2) yawns and burps can trigger the spasms. I eventually learned either on this site as well as the MEM Facebook group that 1) the tensor tympani or stapedius muscle(s) can be spasming and thus actually hitting the eardrum, thus the thumping is known as objective tinnitus (actually happening in the ear), not subjective tinnitus (a brain signal mimicking sensation & or sound). Perhaps the below will help you in your own search for understanding if not relief. I have done a lot of online research and following links, and can tell you what triggers my sleep-disruptive spasms. For those for whom the torment is ruinous, there is a procedure to cut the tensor tympani or stapedius muscle(s) that can be causing the spasms (actually hitting the eardrum) - but it is not without risks or lasting consequences. Some were aware of the phenomenon, but it is uncommon and unstudied. They have been sympathetic and apologetic about having no clue as to cause, much less a cure.
I have wended my way through four appointments, PCP and ENT specialists (audiology, ear and nose) and each provider has found everything perfectly normal.

Hi folks, this is an update to my condition, which has been diagnosed as Middle Ear Myoclonus - although that doesn't tell the full story. Is there anyone else who had ringing in the ear start during this Coronavirus Pandemic? I am very mentally sharp, business professional, and hate to think this is all brought on by stress, please share any news or solutions, the ringing in the left ear is driving me nutz! I am not sure if I can accept that answer. I asked my ENT doc if there is anything I can do, he said just wait and see if it goes away. This came on during the Pandemic, out of work, bills piling up, unemployment income was only helping so much, dipping into rainy day savings account to make ends meet. The ENT said if it does not go away in 60 more days we will do a MRI of the brain, which scares the hell out of me. My blood pressure seems to be about 10 points higher than it normally would be (maybe stress). When I take the ear plug out, there is no drumming noise, just the constant ringing noise. When I put an earplug in my left ear, I hear a light drumming noise as fast as someone could drum. I went to the ENT doc and he said wait another 60 days and see if it goes away on its own.

I have had this problem for 90 plus days, teledoctors have put me on antibiotics thinking it was an infection, and it was not.
