Musical ear syndrome (MES) is a condition seen in people who have hearing loss and subsequently develop auditory hallucinations. "MES" has also been associated with musical hallucinations, which is a complex form of auditory hallucinations where an individual may experience music or sounds that are heard without an external source. [1]
There have also been several findings of acute musical hallucinations in patients with dorsal pons lesions post-stroke and encephalitis potentially due to disruption of connections between the sensory cortex and reticular formation. [11] Also, any kind of traumatic lesion imposed on the brain can be a risk factor for Musical Hallucinations.
Age may also be a significant factor, with younger patients exhibiting more severe hyperacusis. [11] Recently, it has been discovered that individuals with one copy of the GJB2 (Cx26) genetic mutation exhibit hearing that is more sensitive than average, akin to hyperacusis. These individuals appear to be at greater risk for damage from noise. [35]
Musical hallucinations are also relatively common in terms of complex auditory hallucinations and may be the result of a wide range of causes ranging from hearing-loss (such as in musical ear syndrome, the auditory version of Charles Bonnet syndrome), lateral temporal lobe epilepsy, [27] arteriovenous malformation, [28] stroke, lesion, abscess ...
An important technique that is used by neuroscientists in understanding the cognition of music involves understanding musical disorders. This article describes some of the disorders that have been identified by neuroscientists. They range from disorders involving pitch, rhythm and melody, playing instruments and creating music.
The vast majority of the population has risk factors that put them at risk for CKM syndrome: 73% live with overweight or obesity, half of adults have high blood pressure, over 38 million American ...
Researcher Vicky Williamson at Goldsmiths, University of London, found in an uncontrolled study that earworms correlated with music exposure, but could also be triggered by experiences that trigger the memory of a song (involuntary memory) such as seeing a word that reminds one of the song, hearing a few notes from the song, or feeling an emotion one associates with the song.
Sudden infant death syndrome, the unforeseen and unexplained death of a baby younger than one year old, is by definition a mystery. New clues emerge about possible factors behind sudden infant ...
