Ear Flutter

by Oldaugie, Nov 05, 2009 08:49AM
Occasionally my inner ear will feel as though it has a twitch.  Somethnig like the ear drum fluttering, spasming?  There is no pain but it is uncomfortable (probably because if feels so odd).  Has anyone got any experience with this sort of thing?

You are probably right about your suspicions.  The middle ear has a tiny muscle in it called the Tensor Tympani.  This muscle (like other muscles in your body) can spasm. The result is that your ear drum is tensed and relaxed quite rapidly giving you the sensations.
