Yes, you possibly need surgery to shorten the greater horn of your hyoid bone. It’s good the styloids don’t seem to be causing any symptoms. The other things you just mentioned - clicking, rubbing sound of hyoid are more symptoms of Hyoid Bone Syndrome or Clicking Larynx Syndrome than ES. > [@madhavshrma](#): > > is recession of greater horn a major surgery will my voice change or ut give me big scar ?Do u think that C1 vertebra causing any problem?

You can scroll right up to the very top and read it. Also, this is found on the user’s profile page: My symptoms started 2 months ago after a chiropractic adjustment, but i suspect I’ve been dealing with ES for about 8 years now. Had really bad posture and teeth grinding/clenching. Symptoms started off with intense pressure and pain in my ears and jaw. A few days after that I noticed clicking… --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/eagle-syndrome/19670)._
