Dear Astrid, Dear lib. And everyone else.
It would seem, though I am no ENT specialist, that lib is also right.
Right in the sense that there seem to be a cluster of many combinations.
Now, spasms in the levator veli palatini might be visible in the
palate, whereas spasms in the tensor veli palatini only can be observed
throug endoscopical observation, i.e. through the nose. I shall return
to Cologne in the fall in order to confirm this. However, Astrid,
it seems obvious to the docs in Cologne that myocloni in the tensor
veli palatini can cause spasms in the eustachian tube. Which pretty well
goes for explaining all of my symptoms, at any rate.
As to this, and as well as to the medication my first German ENT
specialist mentioned, I shall return with news as soon as possible. I
will not forget to do so. Please let's all keep posted.

hello all,
there are at least 2
muscles in the e tube, the tensor veli palatini and the levator veli
palatini, the second one will produce visible spasms in the soft palate.
the first is attached to the hard palate and runs the etube.
i have
myo in both the middle ear and in the tensor veli palatini muscles,
along with a few surrounding muscles. the surgery for me was a relief as
i definately had it in the middle ear. as dr sismanis says, there are
many muscles in there and a cluster can be involved.
i would be
interested in the newest treatment you speak of for the tensor veli
palatini, i refused botox as if it is not done correctly it can cause
more problems.
hope everyone finds relief.
lib

hi mestermann,
if it were the
tensor veli palatini muscle then question remains how this would explain
spasming in response to sound, which is what i have, obviously contrary
to others who seem to have spasms that are not related to sound.

The stapedius reflex is also invoked when a person vocalizes.
The stapedius reflex is also invoked when a person vocalizes. In humans, the vocalization-induced stapedius reflex reduces sound pressure levels reaching the inner ear hair cells by approximately 20 decibels. The stapedius reflex causes an acousto-mechanical increase in impedance.
