Maybe some of you physicians know what's going on --
I've got a concert playing on TV right now, and I just yawned & stretched. During the yawn, it sounded like the pitch of the music actually bent downwards a smidge, and when I stopped yawning, it came back up to normal.
It always happens during a real, honest-to-goodness yawn -- you know, when you can kinda hear a bit of midrange rumbling/shaking inside your head. I can't replicate the effect when I consciously force a yawn.
Are the inner ear components being shifted inside my head? Is it something else?
And don't just say, "Dude, it's all in your head," because it IS...
Perceived pitch drops while yawning?
