Hi have ear issues too along with other issues; tinnitus for years on and off but last few years almost steady and checking during night if either fridge running or furnace or air conditioning inour housee - sometimes runnings smetimes not; (also have eustachian tube pain and moderatehearing loss) so as I think I posted elsewhere on here - years ago thought neighbour playing radio , long story short, heard when they were away - and turns out it is "MES Musical Ear Syndrome." Right now as I type right ear (but really brain) is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star over and over an over an can be a variety of songs. So, checkng on line and as told by a hearing specialist last year, the music we hear (again, not our hearing) can be a hymn, Christmas carol, nursery rhyme etc etc. and I am wonering to myself : calling on everyone who "hears music or singing or a musical instrument" when none there: "name that tune." Why is it then that certain types of music is heard?? What if we club togegther and find out exactly which tunes - and if there is a link - WHY?
National anthems are O Canada and God Save The Queen/King - can be in background for hours, all night; Christmas carol is "O Come All Ye Fathful." Nursery rhyme as above Twinkle twinkle.... and I can name the other few if anyone interested in pursuing this. They say it is not a mental health problem but hearing loss - so why is it only 3 per cent of us are affected, why not all hearing impaired? Honestly this is enough to drive a person round the bend! After daily nap it is waking to bongo drums and sped up voice I cant find out words.. every day, similar time.... this "had" to be more than a lost of hearing problem???? (help!)

Hi Valerie, I truly sympathize with you and know how maddening tinnitus is, best thing that specifically has worked 60% or more for me is to listen to relaxing piano music from my phone app, and rest of time, well I've got a ton of strategies. I've had moderate to severe hearing loss since birth in both ears and cannot hear w/o a hearing aid and most times i rely heavily on captions when watching TV, movie or listening on my phone. My story is I started wearing my first hearing aid in 1976, but never had any tinnitus until 2010. I did well with having just one aid but in 2008 i was able to get two aids (state of the art) and was so happy. But suddenly in 2010, while i was driving on the interstate my right ear started popping and it suddenly went totally deaf. I was devastated. Then the very next day the tinnitus started and since then it is 98% NON-STOP. I hear all sorts of weird noises, pulsing, drumming, screeching, voices, music, white noise, etc...and in my mind they are very loud (over a 100 decibels') usually is worst at night. I lose a lot of sleep and it drives me NUTS! I agree it has to be more than just a hearing loss problem !
