    Newcomer Seeking Support and Guidance: Noise-Induced Hearing Loss May Have Caused My Tinnitus

    ...is to Nortriptyline, but I believe that after 4 days on Nortriptyline, I developed increased tinnitus and even worse, musical ear syndrome that I still have more than a month later. That drug did not help me sleep at all, but it revved me up so much I couldn't sleep a wink for those 4 days...

    I Hear Distortions Over My Fan — Is It a Bad Idea to Continue Using It to Sleep?

    It will probably go away or maybe turn into Musical Ear Syndrome. This is what mine was like before it turned into MES. I wouldn't sleep in silence if I were you, but rather keep the fan and try to control your anxiety response. Maybe add another sound into the mix like crickets or piano music...

    Can Pulsatile Tinnitus Be Caused by TMJ Issues and/or Inordinate Amounts of Bed Rest?

    See link below. This combination could cause a hum, but could disappear in time. This hum wouldn't be pulsatile tinnitus. https://healthjade.net/musical-ear-syndrome/ I know quite a lot about abdominal injuries - nerves, arteries, vessels and muscles. We can talk more about this and TMJ if...

    Transforming Tinnitus (Taking on the Form of Real Noises)

    It could also be MES musical ear syndrome. When I was completely deaf on one ear I heard all kind of real sounds like laughing children, playing guitars, it felt like being on drugs.

    Exposed to Fire Alarm — Hearing a Lingering Siren Sound Hours Later?

    For me it was primarily things like sirens in the distance or the sound the microwave made after it was done running so high pitched stuff in similar ranges to my tinnitus tones.

    And the Band Played on — Musical Hallucinations / Musical Ear Syndrome

    ...I'm sure I have some undiagnosed hearing loss, but it's far from profound, and I'm 42 so it's unlikely for it to be MES (Musical Ear Syndrome). When I do experience these bouts of audio hallucinations, it usually sounds like it's happening outside or another room. Sometimes I swear I hear...

    Some Sounds (e.g., Ambulance Siren) Get Stuck in My Head After the Fact

    I've had this happen before, but with music. Look up "musical ear syndrome". I assume the same can happen with other noises. Freaked me out pretty good but it went away thankfully.

    Is the Thought of Tinnitus Getting Worse Scarier Than Your Actual Tinnitus Level Right Now?

    ...with diminishing hearing as she ages. I will go deaf, it is inevitable. And my brain will simulate such discordant sounds that this such intrusive T will be wistfully recalled. I already have incipient musical ear syndrome so I might have some accompaniment from the odd song to anticipate.

    I wonder if this implies that tinnitus itself negatively affects the brain. After all, it is a psychoacoustic qualia consisting of “random information” just the same as white noise is. (Unless you’ve got musical ear syndrome.) FUCK

    Tinnitus and Hearing a Sequence of Repeating Tones — Caused by Nortriptyline?

    Update: I had hoped that things would be getting better by now, but instead they are getting worse. The Musical Ear Syndrome has come back with a vengeance and is around almost 24 hours of the day. My pulsatile tinnitus is now also occurring in my right ear and is very loud at times...

    Brain "Copying" External Sounds and Replaying Them...

    I had this too! It's called musical ear syndrome. It lasted a few weeks as well. It seems like the brain can record monotonous sounds as long as you listen to them for some time. At the time, I experimented with this and I was able to overwrite one monotonous sound/music with another. At some...

    Episode 16: The Sound of Science — Otonomy

    Have you not read up on MES i.e. Musical Ear Syndrome? If not, I recommend you research it, for it's the brain that causes the music and or other noise people hear. Yes, lack of hearing is the beginning but it's the brain with lack of hearing that causes this mess. The brain needs that feedback...

    Anyone with MES (Musical Ear Syndrome) / Musical Tinnitus?

    I'm new to this forum. I also got musical ear syndrome recently. It started with normal static and pure tone tinnitus and then it morphed to the MES.

    Can Pulsatile Tinnitus Be Caused by TMJ Issues and/or Inordinate Amounts of Bed Rest?

    I looked at the link above and tricyclics are listed as causative. Once MES has been established, is there any chance that it will go away on its own? They do have a list of drugs that might be helpful but since antidepressants themselves are listed as potentially helpful, I’m very leery of...

    Newcomer Seeking Support and Guidance: Noise-Induced Hearing Loss May Have Caused My Tinnitus

    The frustrating part of this is there are people here on the forum that have benefitted well from Nortriptyline, and the same goes for Amitriptyline. There's almost no cohesion to a lot of this stuff. Any potential medication is like a mine waiting to go off. I do think it's best, just in case...

But what was annoying as a man came on saying his elderly mum heard music, which she then confirmed but the Dr dismissed it saying no way could she hear music it was just her T, nothing more. She should have read up on musical ear syndrome.
