Tinnitus (music hallucinations/earworms)

Anyone suffering from the above. Constant music interference - like a broken gramophone playing the same bit of music melody or lyrics or nonsense ?

High-pitched hissing and low-tone humming. I've experienced the occasion phantom music.

I have Musical Tinnitus - started about 15 months ago after a bout of Labyrinthitis . Repetitive undefined music 24/7. Google musical ear syndrome and that describes me to a ‘T’. I became profoundly deaf in my right ear after the Labyrinthitis and apparently my brain couldn’t understand why there were no sounds going in so decided as I was a music lover - it would provide the sounds for me!! I thought I was going mad. I’m still trying to come to terms with it. Have a hearing test as some people benefit from hearing aids if hearing loss is a problem. I wouldn’t mind if I could change the music to something I liked but I can’t. I have also lost the ability to hear higher tones and most music sounds dull and flat. Good luck with it.

I have the same. Drives me blooming mad! I told myself it was my brain trying to drown out the hissing of the T, but it’s good to know what it is and that I’m not the only one.
