When I speak it’s like talking in a tunnel…a hollow, base sound.
Pre Covid I began having large nasal discharge in the morning, as well as a constant need to cough up phlegm.around the same time I noticed that when I spoke, it was like talking in a tunnel. After visits with myENT and primary care doctor, I got relief from the heavy discharge. My primary concern at the beginning was the voice in my head. I finally was diagnosed with Eustachian tubes that were constantly open. I had catheters put in both Eustachian tubes and tubes inserted in the ear drums for drainage. After 16 months, it hasn’t worked. I still have the voice in my head…and my hearing has gotten worse. There was even a time when I could hear music in my head…almost like soothing music coming from a monks in a cathedral. HAs anyone had/have the voice in the head when speaking and not really knowing if you were loud or not? Help.

Hi, read abit of everyone as I’m new to all this stuff. But I hear ya loud and clear for the hearing tunnel. Been there now for about 3 yrs now, with no relief in site. But for me it’s hearing my heart beat like African drums at 4 levels above normal which in turn affects the eyes and man what a headache. Some get irritated for having to repeat or your loudness. Of course unaware of tone. Don’t know why or how but thought it would get better.
