My tinnitus is self music, usually singing but without word, and always familiar songs— Amazing Grace, other hymns, things like Swing Low Sweet Chariot… I have no idea how my brain is producing these specific songs. Sometimes the sound is just repetition of 2 or 3 notes back and forth. Soft enough that I usually think I’m hearing choirs practicing in the distance. Sometimes oddly there is no sound at all, so no tinnitus at times.

I hear crickets all the time, and sometimes the ocean or lots of wind

Yes I have it always. My husband is very much into music constantly fine tuning his system and buying up grades…his interest has become more intense in the past two years. My hearing issues began 17 years ago. Ive been wearing aids for about 9 years. My husband cannot understand why my hearing aids don’t solve my problems and my lack of interest in listening to music other than now and then. He’s nice about it but just doesn't understand.
