Voluntary contraction of the tensor tympani muscle
TIL that some people can voluntarily control the tensor tympani, a muscle within the ear. Contracting these muscles produces vibration and sound. The sound is usually described as a rumbling sound. However it may result from contraction of the tensor tympani muscle as a manifestation of nervous tension, often associated with excessive contraction of the jaw muscles. When tinnitus is the result of an irritative or degenerative process in the cochlea, it is usually associated with some degree of nerve deafness. Contraction of the tensor tympani pulls the handle of the malleus inward and, as the name of the muscle suggests, tenses the tympanic membrane. Contraction of the stapedius pulls the…. With tonic tensor tympani syndrome, the reflex threshold for the muscle contraction is lowered and you start to notice the muscle’s frequent spasms in response to certain sounds. Many with this condition also have hyperacusis, which is an increased sensitivity to sound. After some research I figured out that the warmth I'm able to create is actually part of voluntary piloerection (its use for warmth is mentioned here), while the ability to create a rumbling sound is simply the contraction of the tensor tympani, a muscle in the ear. Voluntary control over either one of these things is supposed to be rare, but I've found claims of several other people online who can do both (example1, example2). Eardrum spasm. The tensor tympani and stapedius muscles in your middle ear are protective. They dampen the sound of noises coming from outside the ear, and they reduce the sound of noises coming from the inside the body, such as the sound of our own voice, chewing, and so on. When these muscles spasm, the result can be middle ear myoclonus (MEM), The tensor tympani is a muscle within the ear. Its role is to dampen sounds, such as those produced from chewing. Contracting muscles produce vibration and sound.

Voluntary control over the tensor tympani muscle is an extremely rare event. However, an understanding of the potential audiometric effects of its contraction could aid the diagnosis of hearing Tensor tympani contraction may have a "signature" audiogram. This study demonstrates audiometric findings during voluntary tensor tympani contraction. Five volunteers possessing the ability to voluntarily contract their tensor tympani muscles were identified and enrolled. Voluntary tensor tympani movement may be a myth in that I asked lib from chat-h, who got a tenotomy and she can still hear the rumble. She may have been answering to the other question I put to her, which was whether she could still feel eardrum movement. "Contraction of the middle ear muscles can also be used by nonauditory factors, including 1) spontaneous contractions 2) body movements 3) Vocalizations in which contractions prior to vocalization 4) movements of facial muscles involving only the tensor tympani 5) stimulation of the external ear canal and 6) VOLUNTARY contractions.

The tensor tympani acts to dampen the noise produced by chewing. When tensed, the muscle pulls the malleus medially, tensing the tympanic membrane and damping vibration in the ear ossicles and thereby reducing the perceived amplitude of sounds.. Voluntary control. Contracting muscles produce vibration and sound. Slow twitch fibers produce 10 to 30 contractions per second (equivalent to 10 to Voluntary contraction of the tensor tympani muscle and its audiometric effects R D ANGELI, M LISE, C C TABAJARA, T B MAFFACIOLI Department of Otolaryngology, University Hospital, Universidade Voluntary and involuntary contractions of the tensor tympani muscles were recognized by Politzer, Luschka and others nearly one hundred years ago.

One study from 2013 stated: ‘The tensor tympani muscle is the largest muscle within the middle ear. Its voluntary contraction is a very unusual event. Its voluntary contraction is a very unusual

28 Feb 2020 Those that can contract their tensor tympani - a small muscle located Sound being produced by the voluntary contraction of this muscle was
Objective tinnitus (OT) may be caused by contraction of the tensor tympani muscle (TTM). Audiometric findings with voluntary tensor tympani contraction. Voluntary contraction of the tensor tympani produced a lesser compliance with side was interpreted as being due to contraction of the tensor tympani muscle. 24 Dec 2019 to detect voluntary movement of a middle ear muscle (tensor tympani), 17% could generate the contraction in isolation to other movements. 19 Feb 2020 That rumbling is caused by a muscle in your middle ear stretching out. It's called the tensor tympani, and its purpose is to shield your ears from tensor tympani in the affected ear. Observations on Tensor Tympani Muscle ( Tensor). accompany voluntary contractions of muscles innervated by the VII. (b) via the tensor tympani and the tensor veli palatini muscles, which have the same the active contraction of the tensor tympani muscle with the tensor veli palatini and By voluntary opening, which must be learned by every diver and pilot. 14 Jul 2017 The loud rumbling sound (sometimes like thunder) that's produced in the ear when you close your eyes too tightly is due to the contraction of a
