#54: Identifying the Source of the Clicking Sound
Some people have more control over their tensor tympani muscles than others. This person has always been able to flex the muscles in their middle ear without a problem. When they do, it causes a clicking noise in their ears. It’s actually pretty helpful because they can equalize pressure in their ear.
They thought this skill was pretty normal until they revealed their ability to their swim class. No one else in the class could do it, including the teacher. Apparently, everyone looked at the storyteller weirdly, which sounds pretty rude. They were probably just jealous that they couldn’t equalize the pressure in their ears. Hm.
