✅ Superior Canal Dehiscence Syndrome (SCDS) is a rare condition caused by a small, abnormal opening in the bone that covers the superior semicircular canal of the inner ear. This defect can lead to abnormal auditory sensations, such as hearing the movement or blinking of one’s own eyes, a symptom known as autophony.
✅ The opening can also cause other symptoms like dizziness, balance problems, and sensitivity to sound, as the inner ear becomes more vulnerable to pressure changes. SCDS occurs when the thin bone surrounding the ear canal thins or erodes, compromising the delicate structure of the inner ear.
✅ Treatment options may involve surgery to close the hole and reduce symptoms, though management varies depending on the severity and individual case.
