Hello Doctors,
I am a 30-year-old male from Kalyani, West Bengal, experiencing recurrent episodes of fluttering, vibrating and thumping sensations inside my ears, which feel like involuntary muscle contractions.
I suspect middle ear myoclonus (MEM), possibly involving the tensor tympani or stapedius muscle.
My symptoms began in 2023. They improved considerably during 2024–2025, but I have experienced recurrent episodes since then, affecting both ears.
The symptoms are intermittent and can involve:
- Fluttering, rapid vibrations or thumping sensations inside the ear.
- Involuntary muscle spasms that sometimes occur after waking up, yawning or hiccupping.
- Occasional episodes affecting either ear, sometimes both.
- Periods of improvement followed by unexpected relapses.
