My family and I attempted the tympanoplasty surgery where they graft some muscle from the back of the ear onto the drum, unfortunately with the way my eustachian tubes vibrate it recreated the hole.

The surgery was supposed to have a 98% success rate, so we found it futile to retry as repeat surgery's drastically lower the chance of success. I gave up singing after that.
It wasn't until 2020 after moving in with my now wife Alecia that I picked it up working with her on learning how to read my voice by the vibration of my throat, and to read the vibration of the speakers with my hand.
I had made some leap was able to do Christina Perri songs with mild success (still sounded bad lol). Then in 2022 I was able to get my first pair of OTC hearing aids. Which drastically improved things, not only in singing but my ability to hear the world in general.
Everything sounded new and different. This year (2025), I was able to finally get prescription hearing aids and the sound quality was so much better than my OTC, now I'm finally hitting tons of things but I'm also still quite flat at times. Or emotionless xD.
My current goal is working on my upper range, I am ATM a Tenor/low tenor, so I am pushing myself to hit higher notes. I'll be posting full songs in this channel, typically while driving to or from work. It's the easiest way for me to practice with my current schedule.
My second goal is to have consistency with my voice, my ADHD meds make my voice hoarse at night so I have to practice on warming my voice back up to base at night :/ but I'll get things figured out!
Finally, there will be tons of repeated songs!! It's practice for me after all so there will be tons of repeats, just s fair warning!! Welcome to Royal Howlings ~ Channel link: t.me/+ZY8-6KkX9Rk...
