    Musical Ear Syndrome (Musical Tinnitus) Following a Car Trip (Wore Earplugs and Earmuffs)

    ...over and over that sounds musical. It has gotten increasingly loud and intrusive. From what I have read, this sounds like “musical ear syndrome” or “musical tinnitus”. It is only the same few notes over and over again all day: “de de, de de, de de, de deeeeeee; de de, de de, de de, de...

    I've Had Musical Ear Syndrome for Five Years

    I've had Musical Ear Syndrome for five years. I constantly hear a symphony and a choir for many voices. I have never heard such music before in my life. Year after year the music I hear is stronger. I work constantly on concentration and shift my focus so much on learning. I don't listen to...

    It's good news and bad news. My musical ear syndrome (MES) usually doesn't bother me when I'm sleeping anymore. However, the bad news is that my tinnitus is now louder and more constant during the day. I used to have periods of quiet throughout the day but not anymore. The only thing that gets...

    Can Overprotection Have Caused My Musical Tinnitus?

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

    Hello, I have had tinnitus for about twelve years. It progressed from distant ringing on a rainy day to the 'horror' that it is now. I'm glad to have found a place to vent. The Doctors say there is nothing they can do. I've tried all the masking and it seems to be louder than any of them...

    Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOs, TCAs, TeCAs)

    That's interesting. And I'm still interested in Cymbalta vs. Lexapro. Anecdotally, my tinnitus was much more susceptible to being changed by medications/drugs in the first year (or less) than it is now. Trazodone, alcohol, marijuana, even different foods would change it. Now, I'm either...

    Musical Ear Syndrome and receiving vibrations. Very sensitive touch and the body's reactions to cold and heat. it all comes together. I sometimes manage to quiet down the music when I concentrate hard on a difficult logical task or painting intricate colorful patterns.

    There is a connection between hearing loss and auditory hallucinations, yes. Musical Ear Syndrome seems to be the most common. You hallucinate music or voices that are not there. Your brain can also replicate sounds you've heard in the background like a siren or other sounds.

    Hypertension and Tinnitus Tones Mimicking External Sounds

    I have something similar with the mimicking. I think it’s a form of musical ear syndrome which is kinda like the brain making up music when there’s lack of stimulus (usually related to hearing loss) so my theory is this is just one of the many weird issues that can come with damage to our hearing.
