I'm having some issues with my voice, both when I talk and sing. It feels like there's a weakness in my voice box, even when I'm not speaking. There's also pain when I do talk or sing. My voice tires easily, and it's losing its depth and clarity it sounds faint and a bit muffled. Plus, hitting high notes takes a lot more effort than it used to. These issues used to happen rarely over the last year, but in the past three months, they've become more consistent. I've tried taking Oratil and Azee tablets, but they haven't helped. Could you help me figure out what's going on with my voice?

I had ear drum hole surgery about 4 years ago but for the last two years, I've been dealing with constant itching inside my ear. Could this be related to the surgery or something else? It's really bothering me and I'm not sure what to do about it

Itching in the ear after eardrum surgery, especially if it persists for two years, could be due to several factors, including a recurring infection, skin irritation, or even nerve sensitivity. It's important to consult with an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist to determine the cause and appropriate treatment, as it's not normal for itching to persist this long after surgery.
