comment [de]	Der Musculus tensor tympani gehört zu den Mittelohrmuskeln. Er verläuft vom Knorpel der Ohrtrompete bis zur Basis des Hammergriffs. Der Musculus stapedius spannt das Trommelfell und schütz so vor zu starker Vibration des Trommelfells bei lauten Tönen.

comment [en]	The tensor tympani belongs to the muscles of the middle ear. It runs from
the cartilaginous part of the auditory tube to the handle of the malleus. The tensor tympani draws the handle of the malleus medially tensing the tympanic membrane to protect it from excessive vibration by loud sounds.
