Musical hallucinations and diplacusis

I have a friend who was a choir director, and a singer herself. She developed a weird hearing problem. When she sings, she hears herself sing the note, and a sour version of the same note simultaneously.
She went to an ear specialist, not an ENT. A doc who is specific with the ear, an Otology/Audiology Neurotology.
He tried all kinds of things, but was unable to help her.
She is hired to sing solo each Sunday at a church, and is really concerned about making mistakes.

Thanks, Susan, for your comment. I have the same thing. It's called Diplacusis, which is called double hearing, hearing two pitches at the same time. And when I'm singing i can't match the pitch. I can't tell which note is correct . And when I am playing it sounds like there's 2 or 3 songs playing at the same time. I also having tinnitus, hearing a hissing sound 24/7 and now I'm having musical hallucinations, hearing, on-pitch music playing all the time in my head. All of this happened after I had covid. May have been after the injection. I don't know . If all of that wasn't enough, I also acquired tmj at the same time. I can no longer chew my food. Going to a PT to loosen my muscles. He's doing dry needling on my face., It's painful but I may be a little better. When I finish here I have found an ENT in Jackson, MS that is real innovative and seems by his profile that he would "leave no stone uncovered." I'm going to try him for my double hearing. I live in Laurel, Ms
Thanks again!
Prayers for you friend!! Hope she can finally find a solution. Will let you all know if this ENT helps the problem.🙏🏼💕
