Why do I hear loud music in my head?
Patient: I have a question about my mental health.When I was little, I had voices, like people screaming, shouting, and raspling voices whispering at me. It doesn't happen during the day anymore. Just in dreams. But now I have music in my head. It plays loudly, and the music I have never heard before. It doesn't cause me problems, but I thought I should ask. Sometimes I can't hear myself thinking. Doctor: DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. A paracusia, or auditory hallucination, is a form of hallucination that involves perceiving sounds without auditory stimulus. There are three main categories into which the hearing of talking voices can often fall: a person hearing a voice speak one's thoughts, a person hearing one or more voices arguing, or a person hearing a voice narrating his/her own actions.Under musical ear syndrome people will hear music playing in their mind, usually songs they are familiar with. Reports have also mentioned that it is also possible to get musical hallucinations from listening to music for long periods of time.Treatment to this condition is largely based on normal hallucination and individual condition. Ignorance is the best treatment. Unless the hallucination does not produce any unacceptable result, learn to ignore them.If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website.
