Terrible heads aches and tinnitus

I might be wrong but the music in your head could be what they call “ear worms “, don’t freak out it’s just the name they gave it. It’s very difficult at times because in my experience I get one song without lyrics and it stays for days sometimes weeks. I’ve done a little research on it and the biggest cause is stress and depression, wow that’s a surprise. On a bright note you might have something different to and at least your music is a variety of different tunes, I would rather have what you’re getting with all due respect.

I wanted, @frouke , to update you on what I hear: it is both a whooshing and what I hear as music. Lately too I'm hearing what sounds to me like a "Walter Cronkite-ish" voice that sounds as if it's coming from a radio! It's entertaining to have all this and no, we do not have a radio or TV or anything on at the times I hear it. It's not an earworm as you suggested - the tunes, save one new one in my "ear repertoire", are not ones I'd choose. I promise.
ENT later in Oct.
What I also learned was that the connective tissue disorder with which I was finally diagnosed is likely from COVID. Did searches through NIH and others when doctors "c/wouldn't say for sure" but many others did way it was a likely result of COVID and part of long COVID. These are all yucky.

Chuckling a bit .. it's not "earworms" - those I know. This is very different. When my mother had it, it was as her body was failing and she was dying. I do not think I'm imminently dying. The sounds even w/ my earphones for zoom and other meetings never goes away. AND the songs are not those of my choice! (Really.) This is the least of my long COVID (finally confirmed) symptoms - the worst are the fatigue, and the connective tissue disorder/disease that they believe targeted my already compromised (by NHL) immune system. I don't want any of us to have any of this. Thanks for writing in response.
