Can you do it ?

[GoldMoon]

Ok will hold my hand up to looking into some weird stuff sometimes but have just discovered its not a thing everyone can do . I can , and knew I could from when I was a kid but did not know that many cannot . Try it , can you ?

A part of the human population can voluntarily control the tensor tympani, a muscle within the ear. Contracting this muscle produces vibration and sound. The sound is usually described as a rumbling sound .

I can't do the clicking or the little toe thing. But can fold down my ring finger by itself.

Yes, I can do it. Both together though, not one at a time.

I can do it but for those who do t know what we mean.. swallow.. the noise you hear is it. Now try without swallowing

I can do one at a time and both together.

Still no.

That’s weird, because I can definitely make my ears rumble. But I do not hear the noise when I swallow.

It has nothing to do with swallowing for me 🤷‍♀️

I can

I can - I didn't know that everyone couldn't. I can do one ear at a time if I concentrate, but the expression on my face when I'm doing it makes me look, apparently, as though I'm trying to hold in a really large poo, so I don't.

This, and only with my left ear.

Is it if you sort of tense your ears you can sort of hear the sound like inside a shell. Sort of?
