Fluttering in ear: Fluttering in the ear is usually not fluid in the ear. Fluid would cause persistent dampening of all sounds and muffling of consenant sounds, like "t" and "s". Fluttering is most likely brief spasm of one or more of the very tiny muscles that are in your middle ear, such as the stapedius or tensor tympani muscles. It's rarely a serious condition and it typically resolves without treatment.

TMJ: Ear fluttering likely due to TMJ dysfunction. To be sure, see ENT doc. If ear negative, see TMJ specialist if jaw clicking bothers you.
