"The HUM", a persistent Low Frequency Noise

Are ringing, buzzing, whooshing, etc etc the most popular (like 99%?) symptoms of tinnitus. Does anyone have just ‘musical’ tinnitus? I listen to short fragments of a couple songs that go round and round and often joined by deep rumbling or thunder or drums. No one I know hears such stuff so I can’t help but wonder if it’s simply a sign of worsening hearing? Or a corrupted cochlea? As to hyperacusis: I just read that Tonic Tensor Timpani Syndrome is possibly one of the causes of sound sensitivity. Also mentioned Acoustic Shock. Does anyone know anything about these rare items? All very interesting …

Yes! I have just what you have: repetitive music fragments sometimes accompanied by rumbling, thunder and drums! Add hyperacusis to those and we’ve got … what? Doesn’t seem much like tinnitus, does it? Whatever it is I’ve searched everywhere including ENTs who so far can’t answer the question. Very interesting indeed.

I often get pieces of a song stuck in my head, usually something I heard in the past day or two, but I don't think it's related to my tinnitus. Sometimes I'm laying in bed and the same section of the particular song just keeps repeating over and over -- it can make me a little nuts at times.
