Why is it that when I yawn I can’t hear while my mouth is open? Id imagine its got some weird sinus connection, but have no clue. It also sometimes sounds like rustling/pulsing while yawning. Is that related?
In: Biology
There’s a tiny muscle that is attached to one of the bones that attached to your ear drum. These little bones help transmit sound from your ear drum to the part of your ear that sends the sound signals to your brain. The purpose of this little muscle is to hold the bones still if there is too much noise in order to protect the sensitive parts of your ear. Yawning and chewing also activate this little muscle so it makes your hearing drop a little.
