Musical hallucinations associated with acquired deafness.

T A Hammeke, M P McQuillen, B A Cohen

    Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry
    |June 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Auditory hallucinations can occur in patients with progressive hearing loss. A combination of peripheral and central nervous system factors may cause these complex sound perceptions.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Otolaryngology
    • Auditory Perception

    Background:

    • Progressive bilateral hearing loss can lead to complex auditory phenomena.
    • Auditory hallucinations are not exclusively associated with psychiatric disorders.

    Observation:

    • Two patients with a history of progressive bilateral hearing loss experienced auditory hallucinations.
    • Hallucinations included unformed sounds (tinnitus) and formed perceptions (music, voices).
    • These auditory experiences were influenced by environmental noise and cognitive factors.

    Findings:

    • The hallucinations were repetitive and varied in complexity.
    • No evidence of dementia, epilepsy, or psychiatric conditions was found.
    • Peripheral and central nervous system disinhibition is hypothesized as the cause.

    Implications:

    • This suggests a potential neurobiological basis for auditory hallucinations in hearing loss.
    • Highlights the need to consider peripheral and central mechanisms in auditory disorders.
    • May inform diagnostic approaches for patients with hearing impairment and unusual auditory experiences.
