I nearly stood up to turn it off, but then I realized that it was IMPOSSIBLE for my cell to be ringing because I had just turned it off.Many of us will have been stuck with an ‘earworm’ for a day but consider how it would be to have that earworm stuck on repeat, possibly forever. When I sat down in my seat again I heard my cell phone go off again. I apologized to my professor and walked over to the coat rack, reached into my pocket, and turned my cell phone off. It is very important that you tell your doctor about theses hallucinations because they may be a symptom underlying medical condition that needs to be treated.

So the point of my story is that hallucinations can happen to anyone for a variety of reasons and it is nothing to be ashamed of. The hallucination got quieter and quieter until it faded away completely. So I sat there in my seat and listened to my cell phone song hallucination loop around in my head for a minute. That's when I realized I was hallucinating. None of my classmates or my professor had reacted to the ringing this time, which they certainly would have, had it actually been ringing. I nearly stood up to turn it off, but then I realized that it was IMPOSSIBLE for my cell to be ringing because I had just turned it off. Once when I was very sleep deprived, hadn't eaten well, and was under a great deal of stress I had a musical hallucination. This is not a dress rehearsal, this is the only life we get, use it to the fullest extent of your abilities! I have come to this conclusion after wasting a lot of years being afraid. I feel strongly about the connection between creativity and people who have seizures. Panic has a way of blowing situations out of proportion. Try to adopt some relaxation techniques that will calm your mind, and you will realize that your fears are taking you for a ride. Sometimes we get so caught up in our fears, we ignore our creative abilities. The mind is a powerful tool, and we have more control over it than we realize. I still can hear noises if I am tired enough. I am guessing there is a hormonal connection it that case. His comment was that sometimes when people are going through puberty, with or w/o seizures, they can experience these auditory hallucinations.

I did not tell my parents, but told the doctor at that time, mind you this was 1969. At some point before that first seizure I had auditory hallucinations that were musical. My first seizure (tonic clonic variety) was at age 11. It's so frustrating to know WHAT it feels like, but have no way of describing it to people who have no idea!! But no, you aren't alone. When I tried to explain it to my doctor, he looked at me and said 'You hear singing and music that isn't really there?' Like I was totally insane. I was at a gas station and I woke up with a huge lump on my head in an ambulence. I remember the first time I lost conciousness because of it. It's more like a musical memory overload. It's all music that I've heard before, at church, or on the radio somewhere. I only have auditory.I don't want to call them hallucinations, because they aren't. Ive suffered with epilepsy for years,but it seems to not be so bad anymore,it calmed down a lot,usually the way it would start with me is for example going into an arcade and hearing to many sounds at the same time or too many people talking at once,or the humming of a bus engine while riding a bus would trigger it,im not sure but i think that is considered auditory epilepsy,like certain frequencys would trigger it with me.i dont really understand what people mean when they say auditory hallucinations,that term is unfamiliar to me,so basically i just wanna let people know that your not alone in this and i know what its like all to well to suffer from this,theres been times when i wouldnt leave my apartment for long periods of time for fear i would have a seizure in public and pass out unconciouss and be emberassed from it,so i wish the best to anyone that is afflicted with this,yours trully jesse stoffel.
