The phenomenon is caused by the tensor tympani, a tiny muscle inside the ear responsible for dampening loud noises, like ...

The camera then monitors the middle ear's tensor tympani muscle – it's one of the smallest muscles in the body, and could thus conceivably still be tensed by people who have lost control over ...

These muscles include the tensor tympani muscles. It’s possible the rumbling in your ears could be tinnitus. This may be true if it seems unrelated to activities like chewing or yawning.

It’s caused by a small muscle located in the middle ear called the tensor tympani (TT). The TT muscle tightens, or contracts, after you hear a very loud sound.

The device is linked to the tensor tympani muscle, which for some can be controlled voluntarily. This muscle is one of the smallest in the body and was once thought to help protect the eardrum ...

It appears that the tensor tympani muscle may remain functional even in advanced stages of MND, so the Earswitch may offer a completely new opportunity to give people with MND greater control over ...

To operate the Earswitch, users tense their tensor tympani, one of the smallest muscles in the body. That triggers an on-screen keyboard to scan through letters and select one with an 'ear-click.' ...

A revolutionary device could allow people with neurological conditions to communicate again using a tiny hidden ear muscle.

A revolutionary device could allow people with neurological conditions to communicate again using a tiny hidden ear muscle. The Earswitch device is being developed by a GP and a team of ...
