Oh thanks for info. Well most mornings my adult daughter wakes up thinking of a tune as she has been a music fan all her life . But it's just a thought about the music... hard to explain. I have the regular tinnitus of taps, buzzes, squeaks etc. started years ago and then got progressively worse. Then few years ago it was as if someone had a radio playing downstairs, or neighbour...it wasnt the thought or evening humming a song I liked... hard to explain again. One night months ago I woke and it was right next to my pillow a woman from yesteryear singing to a big band and it was lovely... heard most of the song BUT no one was there singing. I supposed one could call it Tinnitus but recently an audiologist I spoke to said they call it Musical Ear. Then the hyperacusis... and its odd but miss hearing half what my husband says yet flushing toilet, turning off shower, banging a plastic empty jug on kitchen counter is SO LOUD! Add to it Eustachian tube dysfunction and ent wont put tubes in cos of my age and he said fifty per cent get infected and yes it all a bit much for sure....sometimes even after a long phone call/appointment put on speaker phone and hold a foot away, hang up, and the music, or voices start - and no its not voices telling me to do things, just voices as if people are talking and i can here.... isnt there a song 'I HEAR MUSIC AND THERES NO ONE THERE,,,,,,,,' UGH
