Abstract

Middle ear myoclonus tinnitus is an abnormal sound perceived by unusual contraction of the stapes muscle or tensor tympani muscle. The current diagnostic methods include medical history inquiry, physical examination and audiological tests. The diagnosis was confirmed by tympanic exploration of myoclonus. Etiological treatment is considered to be the first treatment of choice, supplemented by behavior therapy and pharmacotherapy. Surgery will be performed when conservative treatment fails. This article reviews the diagnosis and treatment of middle ear myoclonus tinnitus.
