  All the years of my life and I finally learn why I can make my ears rumble on command.

  It&apos;s going to be weird watching older youtube videos in a few years from around now and everyone just casually mentioning they&apos;re in quarantine.

  I can hear the crunching sounds without needing to do that face, so I can contract my Tensor Tympani Muscle, I always wondered what that was, thanks.

  While everyone seems focused on the Tensor Tympani Muscle I’m blown away by the clarity of this video. <br>I’ve always known the little bones helped transmit sounds but never understood their role and yet again how amazing evolution is!<br><br>Thanks again for another fantastic video, I really appreciate how you not only identify the components of your subject but also identify the mechanism associated with that component. Whether it be ears or gravity waves. Wonderful 👌

  wow finally a VPN sponsorship that doesn&apos;t tell you it &quot;protects you from hackers&quot; with &quot;military grade encryption&quot;. that was a really good summary of the actual advantages of using a VPN.

  Well I just learned something about myself! I&apos;ve always been able to &quot;close off&quot; my ears from loud sound using a muscle in/around my jaw at will, but I never knew it was using the tensor tympani muscle. It&apos;s one of those things that&apos;s hard to describe, but when I do it, everything sounds muffled like I&apos;m underwater and occasionally I will hear that roaring sound you get when yawning. As soon as I looked up the tensor tympani, accounts of people doing this told me it was exactly the thing I&apos;ve been doing.

  Imagine going to the gym, and doing 100 reps of anticipating a loud noise.<br><br><i>&quot;Do you even tympani, bro?&quot;</i>
