There are muscles in the ear too! Hyperacusis, which is a sensitivity to certain frequencies of sounds, can happen in MG due to weakness. How the ear canal functions in receiving sounds can be affected by weak muscles.

Be aware of what sounds you encounter and when the symptoms get worse. Do you have any fans running? Is it worse after being in the car? There are so many factors, including things like hypoglycemia or other glucose issues, that can affect the ears.

Koilover, What do you mean by lowering your sodium levels? Do you mean that you've lowered the amount of sodium you eat? And the "swollen" ear drum . . . did they check any inflammatory markers on you? Do you have any signs of an infection? Do you clench your jaw, like when you sleep? What happens when you open your jaw widely? Is there a crackling? That could be your jaw.

I suggest asking your primary doctor for a metabolic panel to see what your electrolytes are up to, what your glucose is, etc. It should be a first thing in the morning/fasting lab to be accurate. Also, have they checked your body over for any signs of edema? Just in case you have "swelling" in other areas. Edema has other causes.

MG can cause all kinds of problems. But don't assume it's the MG.
