Pretragus palpation is where the patient is requested to slowly open and close the mouth while doctor bilaterally palpates pretragus depression with index fingers.

Intra-auricular palpation is done by inserting small finger into ear canal and pressing anteriorly to detect tenderness, clicking and crepitus.
