Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood the history.
You have quite an unique problem, outside of both of your ears twitch non-stop. they constantly move up and down and get pulled back flat against my head.
Internet could not help you.
This is a condition wherein the muscles which are actually very inactive in human being.
But you have got tics akin to facial tics, meaning the involuntary movements of the muscles.
Hence in your case the treatment is every easy:
- Consult an ENT Surgeon for a trial of a few medicines like Amitryptiline.
- Local injection of Botox too can help,
- Local disconnection of the muscles from the ears.

I hope this will solve your problems completely.
