Abstract

The objective of the present article was to systematize the available data on the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnostics and treatment of muscular tympanophonia. The common sourse of muscular tympanophonia is the tremor (myoclonus) of the soft palate or muscles of auditory ossicles. Sometimes this condition can be a consequence of myoclonus of the external ear muscles. Pharmacotherapy of muscular tympanophonia does not invariably result in the favourable outcome. The authors describe a rare observation of objective tympanophonia attributable to myoclonus of auricular muscle.
