We can’t say for definite whether it’s the remaining piece of styloid causing the symptoms, or whether you have issues with your hyoid bone, without seeing images it’s hard to tell & even with imaging you can’t see which nerves are being affected. But certainly difficulty & pain speaking are symptoms members with ES have had, if you’re able you could use the search function to find previous discussions about it. Here’s a link to one which comes up if you search for vocal changes: [Odd question about being monotone/ having trouble with vocal variety - General - Living with Eagle](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/odd-question-about-being-monotone-having-trouble-with-vocal-variety/10152/3) Again, you can use the search function to look up hyoid bone syndrome as there have been a few discussions about this too. Sorry that I can’t give you the answers you want about what’s causing your pain… --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/failed-eagle-surgery-two-years-ago-can-barely-speak-now/13234)._
