I'm having some trouble with my voiceit feels like I need to put in extra effort to speak, and it weakens after a while. This has been happening for about three months now. I also feel a constant dry and burning sensation in my throat, especially tough in the morning when I can't speak until I've had some water. I've tried voice adduction therapy as suggested by my speech therapist, but it hasn't really worked. Is there any way I could reach out to you through Skype for some advice?

I'm feeling a bit concerned because a long time ago, I got a piece of paper stuck in my left ear, and I thought it might have dissolved into earwax over the years. A few months back, I went to the doctor, and their assistant only removed some wax and prescribed some medicines. Lately, it feels like that paper might still be lodged in there, and I'm also experiencing tinnitus. Is there a way to check and remove this without using syringing? Im not too keen on syringing because Im doubtful of its effectiveness. What would you recommend?

Foreign body won't last this long in your ear canal,as you say you have doubt, visit ENT doctor and otoscopy done ,for evaluation and appropriate management
