Thanks for your thoughts on this... I, in my own humble non professional way, still feel there is something more to it that our brains coping with hearing loss if it were why arent more hearing impaired people experiencing this, why have drs never heard of it etc etc.... i sometimes get the droning in one ear either the tinnitus or M.E.S., and the repetitive notes in the other and also hear the neighbour cutting grass and not the doorbell... my brain is not working correctly for sure..... maybe by discussing it , more people will admit to having it or at least talking about it... am upset to hear of others with this but also comforting in another way that I am not alone. Why have I never heard of it before .... are audiologists and hearing aid specialists etc. aware of it I wonder. Hearing the same refrain of a few notes over and over and over can really be the icing on the cake with other issues, but as they keep saying;could be worse. Am wondering if some medication spurred it, even a few years ago..... J.
