Hello @cjohansen and welcome to Mayo Connect. I'm glad that you found our online patient network. You may wish to join Connect members talking about Eagle's Syndrome here:

How long ago was this problem diagnosed? As you say, this problem is affecting your vocal cords, I'm wondering if you have both speech and swallowing problems?

About 12 years ago I was having a swallow study and the radiologist told me I had Eagle Syndrome. He said most people don't have any symptoms from it. I didn't even think of it again until about a year ago when I started having trouble swallowing. I also had numbness and pain on my face, and it felt like I had a foreign body in my ear but I could hear fine. Since then I have been looking for answers. The only speech problem I have is my voice is hoarse and much deeper than it used to be. thanks
