Wow. Talk about synchronicity. I was PM'ing with another PC friend, who like me, has tinnitus and musical phrases that repeat endlessly. I was again googling last night about the "Musical Ear Syndrome". I have occasional tinnitus, but it's mostly the endless music that drives my insane. I used to get breaks from it, but now it's constant, unless I'm asleep. It also interacts with environmental sounds, picking up on the pitch of running water, a fan, my car engine, etc. There's at least 5 possible causes, and no cure. I can't believe that with all the problems I've had all my life, this was also added four years ago. (Boo hoo, poor me ) It does make silent meditation based on breath very hard, as the music is impossible to ignore. I guess that's why I've turned to listening to dharma talks, reiki music, and guided meditation audio files. Love to you all.
