For the past year now I get echoing in my right ear. I can hear my voice echoing when I speak and I don't know if I'm speaking loudly or softly. It comes and goes and its quite annoying. I've had it checked a few times and one doctor cleaned out some wax which didn't help and another said take a cold tablet. I'm only 22 and I don't want to live with this forever. Should I go get it checked out again?

I posted this on another board but apparently its more appropriate here.

It's called patulous eustachian tube, and it means that the tube between your ears and your throat, the one that clears the pressure in your ears, stays open all the time.
It's usually due to rapid weight loss, where fat has been lost so that it cant close properly.
Talk to a doctor again, it can be cured, and it's also not good because it makes you more prone to ear infections.

Its due to rapid weight loss? I've lost about 25 kilos in the last couple of years could that have contributed?
