You probably know the 2 well known causes - PET and SCDS!
The docs I have seen told me the following can cause autophony:-
- ET dysfunction (e.g, blocked, opposite of PET).
- Perilymph Fistula.
- Altered inner ear fluid dynamics.
- Altered inner or middle ear mechanics (e.g, trauma to the hearing bones).
- Intracranial hypertension.
- Intracranial hypotension.
- Thinning of the inner ear canals, doesn't have to be a hole like SCDS.
Back on topic. I am as sure as can be, that in my case, TMJ is playing a part in my ET dysfunction. Prior to my operations, I did have the clicking, it started a short time after the onset of TMJ.
Do you have TMJ?
