Ear problem

Considering my age (66), my hearing is rather good. My last ear exams have indicated a slight loss in the higher frequencies, as expected, and I suffer from a light case of tinnitus which I have gotten used to. In recent years, however, I have had occasions (including the last few days) where a kind of involuntary pulsation occurs every few seconds inside my ears. It is difficult to explain but it is similar to what one hears when one uses the facial muscles to voluntarily "lift" the ears. So far, the phenomenon disappears again after a few days or so. At my last ear exam, I tried to explain it to my doctor but I don't think he could relate to what I felt and, in any case, couldn't explain it. During practice today it really bothered me. To me, my tone was much more shrill than usual and I stopped because I felt it might aggravate the situation. I intend to visit my ear doctor (again) if it continues much longer but I have little hope that he'll come up with something this time. Has anyone else on this BB experienced this problem?
