My Musical Tinnitus 1/3
As I mentioned on previous
posts, I suffer not only from hyperacusis, but also from tinnitus, and this
second condition has been as severe as the first one. The level of my tinnitus
has been almost always very high and extremely diverse. I have perceived many
types of sounds, and some of them have had even musical features.
On this respect I have read
some articles that explains about people who have the same kind of "musical
tinnitus" which some specialists called musical hallucinations. However, I consider this terminology
not correct because an hallucination refers to something that is not real, but
tinnitus is a real sound produced on the ears. Besides, as a musician I am able
to clearly identify what I am hearing.
On this and the two
following posts, I will show you 3 different samples of the musical tinnitus I
experienced some years ago. The samples are simulations of what I perceived on
my ears, and they were recorded using different computer softwares. The sounds
on the right cannel represent the sounds I perceived on the right ear, and the
sounds on the left one represent the sounds from the left ear respectively.
The first sample shown here
is a single melody-like phrase which was present on my right ear (most affected),
with a sound that closely resembles the sound of an ocarina or whistle.
