Hi! My voice sound lower than voice other people. When I noticed I went to doctor. But he gives me wrong diagnosis. Because I had some other problems I went to another doctor. He diagnoses patulous Eustachian tubes. What does that mean? What kind disease are patulous Eustachian tubes?
Hi! You should know that patulous Eustachian tube is the name of a physical disorder where the Eustachian tube, which is normally closed, instead stays intermittently open. Your voice will sound lower to other people because with the Eustachian tube open the trachea has more volume. Because of the rarity of disease, even ear-nose-throat specialists often misdiagnose it. There are temporary treatments to help you. About treatments you should discus with your doctor.
