Anyone hear music as tinnitus?

@lacy2 thank you so much for responding. I had never heard ofMES and felt like i was the only person out here that was dealing with this issue. It can get very distressing. My tinnitus sounds are frogs in the forest, loud motor, and music. Ive found that if i concentrate really hard on one other sound, the music will fade into the background. I know i make the music sounds worse because i catch myself singing along.
And yes, there are days when you think you cannot take this anymore!

I subscribe to CALM and play sounds that work for me, like the crackle of a wood burning fire outdoors, and my favorite is a cat purring.

Sometimes I hear music, on my own, very faintly. Weird. It doesn't last long, but it happens.

My tinnitus sound is a super high pitch.

Hi I don't know if this will be any help to you but here goes..

Close your eyes & relax.
1. Listen to the noise in your ears. Literally every sound.. every pitch.. ever tune.. Just listen & breathe..
2. Don't be angry at the noise in your ears.
3. Listen to the top noise then to the second layer noise then the one under that & then the one on the side & the one under the last one keep going.
4. It's ok don't get frustrated.
5. Don't stress.
6. The noise in your ears is not your enemy it wants you to listen to it.
7. It's hard sometimes but keep doing it. The tinnitus will calm down.
I too forget to do this because I judge myself. I get stressed with life. Then I remember to listen to my ears & it actually does work💯😊

Try listening to the power of now by eckhart tolle on YouTube for free.
This Book is about Surrender & living in the present moment & asking yourself what is going on inside me right now listening to your body but not analysing the problem.
Just watching what is going on.
We are human & we forget & this is also a reminder to me aswell. ❤️
PS Sorry for those of you who have bad hearing loss the audio book will be no good to you.. Maybe there is a paperback version on amazon..

Yes, I’ve had the music(I call it head music) for decades. Sometimes it’s annoying but usually I can deal with it. Other times I just sing along with it! Didn’t know it had a name. Just thought it was part of my anxiety.

Will have to try this. I do know if i focus on one sound enough the music will fade.

@itsmeagain
Glad you posted! I’ve thought maybe if I would not
sing a long it might stop !

I got tinnitus and hyperacusis 4 months ago while on multiple antihypertensive medications: Losartan +Metoprolol + Amlodipine. I think Amlodipine contributed the most, as it made me extremely dizzy. I have discontinued the medications since, but tinnitus is not going away. Usually, it is a high-pitched sound. Sometimes, it is associated with hearing music, same melody from the past over and over again. That usually happens post sitting close to TV and watching concerts. High Blue ray exposure makes it worse, like watching TV or listening to the music before going to bed. Try reducing your blue ray exposure, particularly at night.

Other possible metabolic causes: iron deficiency, Vit Bs deficiency, Vit D deficiency.

@altabiznet
Haven't thought about it being caused by medications. I’ve been on amlodipine for at least 10 years. I do have several chronic health conditions and I am deficient in iron.
I think once the sounds of tinnitus is there they do not go away.

@sarafount
Depending on the cause, tinnitus may go away. Iron deficiency anemia, some Vit Bs, Vit D deficiency, Amlodipine, all can cause tinnitus that may go away after a couple of months after correction.
As I mentioned, I got tinnitus and hyperacusis 4 months ago while on multiple antihypertensive medications: Losartan +Metoprolol + Amlodipine. I also got iron deficiency at that time. I have discontinued the medications since and had some iron infusions, but tinnitus is not going away. I am still Vit D deficient - waiting for IM injections.
Constant tinnitus is a high-pitched sound. Hearing music playing in the head usually happens post sitting close to TV and watching music concerts. High Blue ray exposure makes it worse, like watching TV or listening to the music at a close up (loud techno) and before going to bed. Try reducing your blue ray exposure, particularly at night. Hearing music goes away in a couple of days after limited TV at night and sitting at a safe distance.
Watching videos on a laptop can also cause high blue ray exposure and worsen tinnitus with music. This is all based on my experience.
