In reply to the discussion: Do you ever hear music when no music is playing? [View all]mopinko
(73,324 posts)31. no, but i've smelled gardenias that werent there.
an olfactory hallucination. cause by seizures. been at least 20yrs, only happened a few times. just recently realized that it was. it was familiar. im allergic to perfume, so i knew they werent real. gardenias were my dads fave flower, and my moms too. some ppl wd think it was his ghost. but most such things r hallucinations.
had a tbi as a kid and had hallucinations for a decade. saw an episode of house where a guy had the same hallucination. occipital lobe seizure.
seizures manifest differently, depending on the area of the brain. it cd just b music rattling around in your head, but it cd b serious. do u have any other sensory oddities? headaches? had a head injury lately?

Absolutely! Different types of music, and what sounds like radio broadcast voices, too.

On occasion in the long stretch of the subway train underground going express the random noise I'd almost hear music

Yep. I figure it's just my brain keeping busy. Parents were musicians, there was ALWAYS music in the house

No. But I can groove to the faintest furthest away tune that nobody else hears.
