Ok, so a little background. Since 2012, I've been suffering from a chronic imbalance of the left ear, which has symptoms similar to ear congestion (yet, it is not by any means, actual ear congestion) This "congestion" would suddenly appear at any point, and last for up to five months. Regardless my careful reviews of my diet, there seems to be no food that is connected to this. I've lost count of the numerous ear specialists, audiologists and doctors I've been to. None of them have been able to tell what exactly is it that I have. The closest I've come to what could be a diagnosis, was an otologist who said I may suffer from either Cochlear Hydrops, or Dehiscent Superior Semicircular Canal. Long story short, either "disease" basically presents the symptons I have: An uncomfortable feeling of "fullness" in the ear, but aside from that, there are no other dangers or complications.
That said, as of recently, I think I've discovered something that may help to prevent any resurgence of the condition: Tensing the Tympani Tensor Muscle.
Some of you may be familiar with this. Basically, you tense your eardrums so that they produce a low, rumbling sound, similar to a distant thunderstorm.
Well, it turns out that sometimes, when I do some of the Tympani Tensor muscle movements, I hear a sort of low crackling within my left ear. After researching a bit on the Tympani Tensor Muscle, I found out that one of the things it does is make these tiny bones in the middle ear, vibrate. Now, it is well known that the main role of this muscle is to dampen loud sounds. But I'm starting to wonder if there are other regulatory roles of this muscle, such as, balancing the middle ear.
Anyone knows of where I can find more accurate information online about this muscle?
