Abstract
Ear click is a rare type of objective tinnitus, classically described with associated palatal tremor/myoclonus (PT).
A 15-year-old boy reported a constant bilateral ear clicking for 4 years, that could be stopped at will for a few seconds. Clinically, the ear clicks were audible without visible eardrum or palatal movement, and could be entrained by the examiner. Brain MRI was normal.
We propose to classify this as isolated ear clicks with partial voluntary control, putting it into context with other subcategories of "essential" or "isolated" PT.
