MES occurs when you hear music even though there isn't any playing. It's a creation of the brain, but it's not a psychological problem or symptom of dementia. It's usually due to some degree of hearing loss, but the cause can't always be determined. Treating hearing loss may resolve the problems MES is causing.

Read More »Share on Pinterest Credit Image: Delmaine Donson/Getty Images Everyone gets a song stuck in their head every once in a while. But what’s happening when you think you’re hearing a tune that’s not actually playing? It could be musical ear syndrome (MES), a condition where you hear music or singing when there is none. If this is happening to you, you may be worried that MES could be an early sign of dementia. Although it can be distressing, rest assured that it is not an indication of dementia — it’s more likely the result of hearing loss. Simply knowing that you have MES, rather than a more serious condition, can make this experience much less annoying. Let’s take a closer look at the causes of MES, how it’s treated, and if there’s anything you can do to lower the volume. What is musical ear syndrome? MES is a condition that causes musical auditory hallucinations, usually related to hearing impairment. It’s not uncommon, but it’s rarely diagnosed . It appears to stem from hearing loss, but the exact mechanism behind MES is a mystery. The brain collects information from the senses to help you comprehend the world. When your sense of hearing is impaired, the brain isn’t prepared to simply ignore this sense. So, the brain continues to seek input. Getting little or nothing in return, the brain starts to fill in the blanks using what it already knows about the world. This can produce a variety of sounds. In the case of MES, the brain chooses to fill in the blanks with music. MES is similar to tinnitus, which produces ringing, buzzing, or hissing sounds and is also related to hearing loss. MES is sometimes referred to as musical tinnitus. What are the causes of musical ear syndrome? While the mechanics behind MES are not very well understood, there are still some causes behind it that have been identified. Hearing loss Absent other hallucinatory or cognitive symptoms, hearing music that isn’t there is likely due to hearing loss. But the cause can’t always be determined. Of course, it’s possible to have MES alongside another condition such as dementia. Cochlear implant There have been reports of cases in which cochlear implantation or removal has triggered MES. The link between cochlear implants and MES has not been well studied, so information is limited. In one small study involving 82 patients, 22 percent were found to have developed MES — 7 before implantation and 11 after implantation. Medications Certain medications can cause hallucinations, including auditory hallucinations. This is more likely to involve hearing voices or noises. It’s rare for medications to cause MES. If you believe your medication is causing hallucinations of any kind, talk to your healthcare provider right away about adjusting your dosage or changing treatments.
