Suggest Treatment For Musical Ear Syndrome
I have been diagnosed with Musical Ear Syndrome and have had it for about 20 months. I have tried many medications but nothing helped and I had side effects from the meds as well. I hear Hymns, Christmas Carols and music, patriotic songs plus songs from my childhood - I am 69. It started abruptly and first I thought someone was playing Christmas music early (October). Do you have any suggestions as to what I can do to hopefully get clear of it altogether.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Having musical ear syndrome is a rare thing.
There is no actual treatment for such a problem as this comes under the tinnitus category.
MRI of the brain and the ears in detail may find out some problems.
If normal you can consult a Psychologist or Psychiatrist.
And be prepared that you have to live with it.
You can certainly try the alternative methods like meditation, acupressure and so on.
