Middle ear myoclonus is a condition whereby the muscles (tensor tympani and/or stapedius) within the middle ear spasms or twitches creating a brief click sound. These irregular clicking noises like a geiger counter are similar to the more common “eye twitching" or "facial twitching". BUT, instead of being able to "see" the twitching, one hears the twitching instead since the muscles are located within the ear. These irregular clicking noises should NOT be confused with tinnitus which can be either a continuous tone or regular pulsations.
