Autophony refers to a person whose own voice sounds abnormally loud.
Conditions associated with autophony:
(1) superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome (SSCDS)
(2) patulous Eustachian tube syndrome
(3) serous otitis media
(4) occlusion of the external ear canal
A patient with SSCDS may notice both amplification of other sounds (chewing, breathing, heart beat etc) and the ability to hear unexpected things like eye movements.
