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

Since I had the catheters removed from my Eustachian tubes , I don’t hear the music..,but the reverberation in my head is worse. When I speak I talk like I’m in a tunnel. People say that I sound like I have a cold…but I don’t. My nose is not stuffy, but I seem to want to cough up phlegm all the time, but can’t. My hearing is fine with my hearing aids, but not great without them. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I have the exact same symptoms as you, although I have post nasal drip. When I try to pull phlegm through back of my nose nothing happens. The voice thing is the worse for me, I've been off work for over three months. My voice sounds distant and faded just like talking down a tunnel. But also if I'm in shops or basically outside with other people I can't hear my voice at all. Getting really scared at this point. Has yours improved at all ?
