When I speak it’s like talking in a tunnel…a hollow, base sound.

Does anyone have the sound of their voice reverberate in their head when they speak?…and also hear the sound of your breath, especially when you keep your mouth closed?

Yes! That happens to me. At first I thought I was hearing this robotic staticy sound when I spoke because my hearing was coming back but then I realized that it was only when I spoke, not others. It only happens sometimes and when it does it makes me not want to speak at all. Trying to talk over the tinnitus and the reverberating or buzzing "in the shape of my words" ruins talking for me. Fortunately it doesn't happen all the time. I also experience hearing my own breath sometimes. I was referred for an Osia 2 implant after my SSHL which occurred 6 months ago but the specialist/surgeon said I wouldn't be happy with or get much relief from my symptoms with the Osia and that I should have a Cochlear Implant instead. Of course the Osia is covered by Medicare but the CI is not. So I've pretty much stalled in seeking treatment as I don't know what to do.

I wonder if @julieo4 might have some thoughts on this.
Bobby, are your ears plugged?
