Musicogenic is related to REFLEX or GELASTIC
Seizures / Epilepsy "Family". YES, one can hear sound - to be more specific, they come in Hertz (Hz) and Frequencies. Hertz - pitch Frequencies - depth One can be tripped off at a specific Hertz at a specific Frequency or specific Hz and frequencies; while remainder being of normalcy. An Audiologist working with a Neurologist or Epileptologist will be able to work together in this area to determine the specific range of field. The seizure(s) itself varies from individual to individual, plus how one obtained it also varies from individual to individual. ======================== A little bit about myself, I have this very exact specific nature you are amplifying in this field, being diagnosed at a very, very young age (before 3), then taken to a major University Hospital (they did not have Level 4 Hospitals back in my days) - it was then determine that was the cause and reason. However, we had to return back again for the same test performance; to see if it repeats itself which it did, not only that it affirmed the conclusion that I had mitochondrial - it was not until years later of what type of mitochondrial I have, for that had been recently found and everything have been aligned accordingly and specifically. While what I have is excessively rare, for added insult, due to differing variants and mutants, they will not know until an autopsy is performed after my death. Many others who experiences this, half of them were genetic and others were virtually unknown with the guess work of "high fevers" when they were a child according to some from their family members - so it remains unknown. Nonetheless, we all agree with one thing; it is annoying as heck! What is even worse is, it is a seizure itself before a seizure manifests - not an Aura / Simple Partial; but there are a couple individuals who experienced these when being exposed to a pitch or frequency - which tripped them off. Consider it the same thing of those who are photic (light sensitivity) where strobes, flickering of lights, etc - would trip them off into differing types of seizures. Sometimes such seizures would even secondary generalize while others it just a seizure and does not secondary generalize at all. Are they rare? NO, but it is uncommon, but not rare. I also must add there it impacts both males and females equally, and there is no nationality barriers either. Therefore, it can effect anyone, anywhere, across this planet earth. One might have it and under the false assumption that they are going deaf or some have been misdiagnosed as a couple were, as "tone deaf" until they saw a Neurologist and it showed up on the EEG and Radiology scans and other tests were run. Is Surgery necessary? YES and NO - depending on where it is originating from, and to answer the other question: Why am I being sent to an E.N.T. (Ear, Nose, Throat) Surgeon or Specialist? The Surgeon will work together with the Neurologist or Epileptologist and/or Neurosurgeon. As implied, it all depends on where the problem is originating from. Some can be corrected, some cannot. The other question of "I hear things" but I am not seizing but when I tell people what I hear they give me funny looks or think I am a "nut case" ... No, you are not a nut-case - did you actually "hear things", the answer is YES, but how? For example, you heard classic music on the radio, only it was distorted, for a short span, then it went away ... but no one was playing the radio (as it were in my case). One would be able to hear odd, distorted, strange noise, or even in some cases, repetitive noises - where they can be misdiagnosed as tinnitus when it is not for it only lasted but for a moment - a sure sign is, the headache that typically follows after wards as well as the sudden development of light sensitivity, as well as vertigo (dizziness), nausea with or without vomiting, other signs, especially if one had experienced a "hard hit" would be: staggering gait (walk), slurred speech, disorientation, blanking out or zoned out or spaced out, the feeling of being there but not there but somewhere in outer space, sensitivity to light, headache, and others not listed. If such arises - you should speak to the Physician and to the Neurologist / Epileptologist. Make a log of this, every time you remember having such occurrences; if you are aware or unaware and/or if there are any witnesses, what were you doing (your behavior) - for this logs would help tremendously. If you are into music, knowing the musical keys, and specific keys such as octave Eb always trips you off, then so note it. Or if deep Bass in G, F, and A sends you into a flurries when your buddy plays that electric guitar and cranks the bass up ... WRITE IT DOWN! Even if a Violin, Piccolo, Oboe - sends you up the wall and you do not know why (it would the the pitch and frequencies). As for "hearing in your brain", such as electrical cracking, zapping, so forth - note it down. You are not crazy or losing you mind at all; it really is there, they have captured these on EEG's on my end; even though I am profoundly deaf now (115-120 dB (decibels)... cannot even hear a Boeing Jet Engine) - yet, I can hear these obnoxious and annoying things once in a blue moon for my AEDS are working - for when I was young, I was not on AEDS, so I suffered through it much. NOTE: It is TRUE that sometimes this can be a result of a side effect of an AED (Anti-Epileptic Drug) that one may be taking if one is on it.
