The Curious Case Of The Fluttering Ear

The Curious Case Of The Fluttering Ear

Yep, you read it right! So, a few weeks ago, I developed a fluttering noise in my left ear which freaked me the F out. It kinda resembles what I reckon a butterfly would sound like if it was stuck in your lughole. It used to happen every 20 seconds or so, and last for less than an hour.

Lately, if I burp, hiccup or stretch, it can set it off and it can last for hours. It truly is as horrific as it sounds! Turns out, its anxiety-related…who knew?! And to make it worse, my GP doesn’t have a clue what it is or how to help. I feel so alone!!

After doing my own research, it appears to be a small muscle in my ear twitching, just like you might get in your eye. It isn’t very pleasent to deal with for sure, but I’m hoping it’s something my therapist can help me deal with!

I’d love to know if anyone else has experienced this! Let me know in the comments 🙂
