 | | Dysfunction of the tensor palatini and tensor tympani muscles can be due to referred pain from facial, neck, shoulder, pectoralis, soleus, and even metatarsal muscles, causing secondary myofascial pain in these two forgotten accessory muscles of mastication, causing trigger points and shortening of these muscles (83-85). | | | These two accessory muscles of mastication, the tensor veli palatini and the tensor tympani, can develop myofascial trigger points with shortening of the muscle by the same means that any muscle of mastication can develop pain, which would include direct or indirect trauma to the masticatory muscles (50-52). | | | The treatment of these accessory muscles of mastication, the tensor veli palatini and tensor tympani muscles, has shown to improve orofacial, temporomandibular joint, cervical, and shoulder pain complaints; and has also shown to be associated with the relief of ear pain, ear pressure, tinnitus, vertigo, and/or hearing impairment or hearing loss. |

| | The ability of the eustachian tube to perform its functions of ventilation, protection, and drainage can be influenced by variations in its own structure and by the conditions of the middle ear and the nasopharynx. | | | Although the nature of the acoustic middle ear muscle reflex has been well established, the physiologic role of the reflex has remained obscure. | | | Two small muscles are contained within the middle ear, the tensor tympani muscle, which inserts on the malleus, and the stapedius muscle, which inserts on the stapes. |

| | Auditory Pathways |
| | The tensor tympani muscle limits movement and increases tension on the ear drum to prevent damage to the inner ear from continuous loud noises. | | | Vibrations are transferred from the tympanic membrane to an inner membrane called the oval window through the tiny bones called the auditory ossicles. | | | Depending on the phasing of the pressure waves this could either interfere with or enhance the primary sound wave. |

| | The ossicular muscles, the stapedius and the tensor tympani, enable reflex damping of sound transmission in response to abrupt noises and in anticipation of loud noise. | | | They achieve this by reducing the movement of ossicles. | | | Contraction of the Tensor tympani reduces the effectiveness of sound transmission, and thus protects the inner ear from loud sounds. |

| | The Muscles of the Tympanic Cavity ( musculi ossiculorum auditus) are the Tensor tympani and Stapedius. | | | Two other recesses may be mentioned: they are formed by the mucous membrane which envelops the chorda tympani nerve and are situated, one in front of, and the other behind the manubrium of the malleus; they are named the anterior and posterior recesses of Troltsch. | | | The Stapedius pulls the head of the stapes backward and thus causes the base of the bone to rotate on a vertical axis drawn through its own center; the back part of the base is pressed inward toward the vestibule, while the forepart is withdrawn from it. |

| | The tensor tympani muscle arises from the superior surface of the cartilaginous part of the auditory tube, greater wing of the sphenoid and petrous part of the temporal bone. | | | Contraction of the tensor tympani pulls the eardrum ( TM) medially and restricts its freedom of movement. | | | Thus, sound transmission through the middle ear is attenuated when the tensor tympani is contracted. |

| | Neonatal myosin in bovine and pig tensor tympani muscle fibres. |
| | The morphological appearance of the muscle, the widespread presence of neonatal myosin (often together with another myosin in the same fibre) and the persistence of this composition from birth to adulthood, could be explained by an incomplete development of the muscle fibres, resulting in a 'muscle' much better suited to the role of a ligament. | | | In previous studies of middle ear muscles, the classification of fibre types by histochemical methods was particularly difficult in the bovine and porcine tensor tympani muscle, suggesting the presence of immature fibres. | | | Neonatal myosin in bovine and pig tensor tympani muscle fibres. |
