Objective: To present a method for repair of the stapedial and tensor tympani tendons in a patient with hyperacusis after a tendon lysis procedure.
Patients: A 71-year-old professional musician who presented to clinic with debilitating hyperacusis following a tensor tympani and stapedial tendon lysis procedure to treat middle ear myoclonus.
Interventions: A novel procedure for reapproximation of the tensor tympani and stapedial tendons into their native insertion points using periosteal grafts and nitinol wire.

The different velocities of sound (pressure waves) in air and water make auditory source localization a challenge for amphibious animals. The American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) has an extracolumellar cartilage that abuts the deep surface of the tympanic membrane, and then expands in size beyond the caudal margin of the tympanum. This extracolumellar expansion is the insertion site for two antagonistic skeletal muscles, the tensor tympani, and the depressor tympani.

Background: The function of the tensor tympani muscle and its effects, as well as a universal testing procedure, is not yet known. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of tactile stimulation on the tensor tympani muscle activity in an attempt to evaluate the functional status of the muscle.
Methods: In this study, 20 healthy adults aged between 18 and 30 years were included.
