Yes. I'm not sure if my chorda tympani is involved in my altered taste sensations/burning because of the following definition.

"Chorda tympani: A branch of the facial nerve (the seventh cranial nerve) that serves the taste buds in the front of the tongue, runs through the middle ear, and carries taste messages to the brain.

The chorda tympani is part of one of three cranial nerves that are involved in taste. The taste system involves a complicated feedback loop, with each nerve acting to inhibit the signals of other nerves. The chorda tympani appears to exert a particularly strong inhibitory influence on other taste nerves, as well as on pain fibers in the tongue. When the chorda tympani is damaged, its inhibitory function is disrupted, leading to less inhibited activity in the other nerves."

My altered taste comes from the back right portion of my tongue... I can actually taste it coming from that area. Also it is one of three cranial nerves involved in taste, the lingual nerve is also one of them, and burning can come from damage to any nerve, including the corda tympani, lingual, ian, etc.
