I also have autophony ! Been to 7 ENTs who tell me nothing can be done - tubes and hole in ear drum do not work. I wear hearing aids and w my ET open most of the time it’s worse.
Sry I don’t have an answer 😂

Hi, Rosalind. My ENTs and neurologist tell me that it's not my ET and is not my ears but a brain aging problem. My unanswered question is therefore why did not come gradually but like a dynamite blast one day. It literally knocked me off my feet. My other unanswered question concerns the very sticky stiff mucus that I'm constantly trying to clear from the back of my throat. If I spit it in my bathroom sink water will not wash it loose. It has to be rubbed to loosen. I am 2 weeks from age 86 and that is completely new to me. I try to use the Neil Med nasal bath but it burns my sinuses so much that pain is intense for 2 or 3 days. I am curious by nature so I'm prone to wonder about everything. Nothing gained so far. I blame my constant
state of wondering on my name. Alyce
