Struggling with Tinnitus and Musical Hallucinations

[Gadgit1968]

I suffer from severe tinnitus and musical hallucinations, and it is getting worse. Sometimes, I hear a line from a song, and it can stick with me for days or even weeks. At night, when I try to sleep, I hear choirs singing, music playing, and someone with a loudspeaker shouting my name and screaming obscenities, all at the same time. It is overwhelming, often wakes me up, and really gets me down.

Sometimes, I also hear things like football crowds chanting or other random sounds. I am at my wits end. Please tell me I am not alone. What help is available for this? I desperately need to speak with others who are experiencing the same issues. I need support. This is ruining my life.

Sometimes, I hear a line from a song, and it can stick with me for days or even weeks.

Is it from a song you have recently listened to? How often do you hear the line; once a minute, once an hour?

At night, when I try to sleep, I hear choirs singing, music playing,

Is this part unpleasant?

...someone with a loudspeaker shouting my name and screaming obscenities, all at the same time. It is overwhelming, often wakes me up, and really gets me down.

Is this during dreams; as you are falling asleep; as you are awakening or when you are lying awake?

Sometimes, I also hear things like football crowds chanting or other random sounds.

Does this follow on from watching/listening football?

What random sounds? Are they consistent?

What kind of sounds are you exposed to in your typical day?

Other than the hallucinations, please describe your tinnitus.

Do you have any hearing loss?
