Crunching: I am sorry to hear of your problem. Two options: 1: Get an opinion from an ENT doctor not associated with your hospital or local facility. 2: Consider a consult with a Psychologist to make sure this problem is clinically real and not an emotional issue. Please let me know how things develop.
