...not a professional opinion of course but we used to call thinking of a song on and off as "ear worm" my adult daughter is a music fan and waked up every morning thinking of a different favourite song; whereas mine I believe self diagnosed as 'musical ear.' I actually am not thinking of a song or music, I feel I can actually hear it either along with my tinnitus noise of mostly rumbling and hyperacusis picking up a variety of sounds; and yes its annoying and very upsetting. My tinnitus started many many years ago but was the odd squeak, tap, whine every so often, sometimes in evening when in bed reading a book and really didnt get worse until had flu 2 years in a row and then it started but a grinding, whirring sound .... so real ... and we had a new hot air furnace in basement and i felt it was that; we had ceiling down there sound proofed but they didnt do wher the darn pipes came through the walls/ceiling and the furnace is under MY BEDROOM... makes various noises. Also, we are about 3 blocks from Canada Pipe Line and 2 blocks from our City's pumping station which runs 24/7 bringing water from lake , sanitizing, and pumping out.A year or so ago I diagnozed myself with hyperacusis. My hearing has been going a little bit each year and is called moderate hearing loss.... some things I can hear, group chats not much. Sooooo.... yes then started thinking I could hear neighbour's radio on, but they were away and it wasnt on . Then could hear man's voice like he was commenting on a horserace or such... long story short as could give many examples, can hear music, singing, even a man speaking 100 words a minute garbled....i think it has made me nuts along with my other medical problems. Like others, dont need hearing aid with hyperacusis; need a hearing aid when cant hear others speaking; woken up 4 or more times a night to noise... is it my tinnitus rocking and rolling, esp. right ear, or can I hear a neighbour's swimming pool motor, a hot tub motor, and it goes on and on and on. Also I have pressure in ears, pain in ears, echo sometimes when i talk and almost chronic sinus from glaucoma drops side effect....ok could be worse as everyone says, but it is upsetting and as far as i know, no cure. Sorry am all over the place with this comment but i think making my point... its HORRIBLE.
