Thought I'd add my thoughts on this and also a humorous song for you all. I've put this on here a good while ago, and I can't find it, so it may be gone.
I get cobwebs that I brush away from my face. And I have the whispering hiss of constant tinnitus. Sometimes my brain decides to make some sense of the noise it is making (stupid brain!) and I hear distant radios, distant conversations of whispers, unidentified noises and also:
I have heard doorbells...usually as I am waking up in the morning. It's a nice solid Ding Dong. This has happened several times, but there is no one at the door. I know this is just in my head because when our son moved in, he came with a dog, and the dog never heard that noise. Believe me, we would have known if the door bell rang! So, one morning after this happened, this old song, sung as a duet, entered my head and the changed words just were there for me. So here it is for you. I ended the verse with "sail out to sea" mostly because I didn't have anything else, and to reference my Pirate friends. I highly suggest two singers do this at the Convention. It'll be a hit!! Go here to see the real lyrics and hear the music.

I hear doorbells and there's no one there,
I hear music but I know not where,
All day long there's buzzing in the air,
I wonder why? I wonder why?
I hear noises in my head all day,
And what's more, it doesn't go away,
Sounds that used to never bother me
They sound so loud to me, I wonder why?
You don't need analyzin'
It is not so surprisin'
That you hear everything you hear,
Your brain hears pitter-patter,
I know just what's the matter,
Because I've been there, too, my dear,
In your head you've got a tumor,
Yes it's real, it's not a rumor,
Those AN's bring on a symphony,
There is nothing you can take
You might as well commiserate,
And then, by gosh, we'll sail out to sea!
Sue in Vancouver, hearing doorbells
