Sumario:Background: Ear click is a rare type of objective tinnitus, classically described with associated palatal tremor/myoclonus (PT). Case report: 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. Discussion: 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.
