Tinnitus Since
1995
Cause of Tinnitus
UNKNOWN
I've had Tinnitus about 25-30 years.

At first, it was kinda quiet and in both ears, louder in right. In 2003 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and did chemo and radiation.

Before that was over, my right ear went deaf and the Tinnitus started to become more and more obvious.

I think I have something else going on too because I also hear music....sometimes it's a choir singing; sometimes a solo; sometimes sort of familiar tunes, sometimes not; sometimes my childhood favorites, hymns, Christmas carols; sometimes the same song will play over and over and over for more than a day.

And while they are doing their thing, I hear, in the background, sounds that remind me of what the background in a radio show office might sound - people all talking at once.

Musical ear syndrome?
 
Hi, you should click on what Greg posted (blue text), it redirects to a page about the musical ear syndrom. It seems to correspond to what you described.
