Longterm consequences for singers

Hi SaaMee,

I am reaching out as I sing in a men’s A Cappella chorus and have elongated styloids. The left one is palpable under the edge of my jaw and is also protruding into my throat above my tonsil. Anyway, I have noticed recently that after I rehearse for 30 minutes or more I start feeling a tingling on the left side of my face. When it gets really bad it can be felt from the top of my head down to the middle of my chin. It is most noticeable and annoying around my eye socket. I have no real pain associated with it but more of a light burning might be how to describe it. I’m curious if you or other ES singers experience this sensation. Thanks.

Hi! Yes I experienced those symptoms but it faded after surgery. Nowadays so many years after surgery I don’t feel that Eagles or the surgery affects my singing. Wishing you all the best! /Sanna
