We report on two patients with an objective tinnitus. In the first one, the objective tinnitus was unique as it was due to bilateral rhythmic contractions of the vocal cords. In the second, the objective tinnitus arose from Eustachian tube contractions and was associated with up and down movements of the larynx. In both patients, the abnormal laryngeal movement shared most of the characteristics of palatal or palatolaryngeal myoclonus and was thought to be laryngeal myoclonus. Its origin remained essential as all the investigations were negative.

: Conventional audiometry assesses hearing in the frequency range of 250-8000 Hz, while humans can detect sounds from 20 to 20,000 Hz. Hearing sensitivity above 8000 Hz can be assessed through "Extended high-frequency audiometry (EHFA)", which is useful for early detection and monitoring of hearing loss and counseling for tinnitus patients. Despite its usefulness, age significantly affects hearing sensitivity.
