Q. One of your readers complained about music she heard playing in her head. I want to reinforce your advice to see a neurologist.
I don’t know if that would have helped me. I was healthy and active at the age of 60. For several weeks I heard music in my head and ignored it. Then I had a brain stem stroke.
A. We have heard from neurologists and other patients that when a person suddenly starts hearing music in his head, it is important to get a complete evaluation. Although not all situations are as serious as yours, music in the head may be more than a minor annoyance.
