Help: Repetitive Fragment of a Tune and Two Tone Patterns

[Anna V.]

I have repetitive fragment of a tune and two tone patterns in one ear that have increased and sped up. They are testing my sanity. Has anyone dealt with this? I don't know what to do

Have hyperacusis and tinnitus is reacting to pretty much everything so I haven't found a way to mask it

Yes, me and other two members of this forum.
I do not have time to write more, i have to go, but i will ccome back with details when i will find some time.

Do not worry. In my case it went away. Have hope that it will go away in your case too.

Can I ask: How does your T react to everything?

 

[Anna V.]

Traffic sounds makes low tone louder, other sounds make other tones louder. I've been spending too much time in silence as a result but nobody has thus far been able to help me break out of the cycle

First question: for how long this fragment of a tune has been repeting itself?
Second: have you heard this tune that a fragment of it is repeating itself from a source of music?

 

[Anna V.]

Further advice/information welcome from anyone. Been discussing some of above questions offline

Could Lustral (Zoloft/Sertraline) cause this kind of stuff to increase? The patterns etc were there before but faintly/or not insistently. Yesterday they sped up, some came higher pitch and more often
Only thing I did differently apart from a late night, was start 25mg Lustral 2 days ago.
Has anyone else had anything like this happen?

 

[Anna V.]

If so, is it safe to just stop taking it?

I`m a new member since ten minutes ago . This tinnitus matches what I have . I looked up Musical Tinnitus and the question --do you mean music tinnitus ? --gave me a clue that it`s not very common .
I started with short musical phrases. I tried to influence it by concentrating on giving it extra notes. I had no success with that at that stage. The phrases would repeat all day non stop and if I woke in the night it was still going on . Later this turned into real music. one was a German Marching song from radio broadcasts when I was a child . Then the French National Anthem. Later the American one too . One at a time . One day a male singer soloist with very annoying vibrato . There are no words though . More like orchestral sounds or male voice choirs humming. Always in tune and good tempo apart from an irritating version of a Christmas Song ---Now here it is Merry Christmas --everybody`s having fun .That one.
A very common one is a Sarabande by Bach which I learned on a guitar .Quite long passages from it . I ought to listen to the Mass in B minor to get that running full time . Beautiful music in that .
If it stops I may end up missing it . It`s hard to tell .The faulty left ear has just about packed up completely this month . Currently exploring the pros and cons of various implants .

If you say it went away , it may come back again . This is how I have learned the sneaky ways of Menieres . Sometimes the dizziness can stop for more than a year . The Tinnitus , I don`t remember so well when it began . It`s never loud enough to stop me hearing people speaking. If I am in a room on my own and switch off the radio I need to double check it`s off as I still hear music . Also switching the hearing aids to silent does not stop the music .I keep a relaxed attitude to Tinnitus and have never tried taking medecine for it .One interesting feature is where in the brain or memory the music comes from . Remembered tunes from childhood onwards will pop up .Not necessarily my favourites . Last month the radio was on in the next room .It was classical music and I was concentrating on soldering some copper pipes for the central heating. Later in the day I started to hear unknown passages. It was from the radio earlier on and I realised I was hearing in between passages on the piano .Like a second violin part but not the tune itself . It had recorded or imprinted from music that I was not actively listening to that same day . You will know the Rachmaninov 2nd concerto from Celia Johnson`s film Brief Encounter . Quite nice as internal mood music . An interesting development in my tinnitus . When Tchaikovsky was very young and ready to sleep he used to ask his mother "Tell the music to stop ".
