Hi,

1. You need to get an Impedance Audiometry (Tympanometry) to rule Eustachian Tube Dysfunction or a Patulous Eustachian Tube.

This would worsen a tinnitus, distort sound quality and cause an echo in the ears. An audiologist can do these tests.

2. A fexible Fiberoptic Nasopharyngoscopy (FNPS) should be done by an ENT Specialist to look for velopharyngeal insufficiency that causes a hypernasal voice (rhinolalia aperta).

The palate movements should be checked for any change. Lower cranial nerve testing should be performed by a Neurologist.

3. Upload these test results for further treatment options.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
