The tensor tympani and stapedius muscles are integral to the regular operation of the ear. The tensor tympani, connected to the malleus bone, reduces the vibrations resulting from loud sounds to shield the inner ear. The stapedius muscle, recognized as the smallest skeletal muscle in the human body, is linked to the stapes bone and contributes to regulating the amplitude of sound waves reaching the inner ear. In the context of MEM, these muscles undergo involuntary and rapid contractions, generating a clicking or fluttering sound that can be disruptive and distressing for the individual.
