...personally I feel you are not missing out with the musical ear.... it's just an added sound I don't wish for... as I type this its ....Starr of Wonder, Start of Light but also hear the whoosh of the hot air furnace from basement to my bedroom and sound of my fingers on keyboard! Thing is it's not even the whole song or musical passage but repetitive - over and over again the first line or two. Apparently its not the same thing as the music of a song we like and just can't get out of our head, i think they call it ear worm or music worm, not the same. As someone else said the music I hear is from decades ago too! Yes consensus is we have to live with it unless caused temporarily by certain medications etc.
