I can't believe I haven't posted my poem on here, before this. It was on the Forum at one time, probably deleted by now or buried deep in the archives. This came about a couple of years ago when the phantom sounds were driving me nuts. I would wake up, on occasion, to the sound of a doorbell. Nobody there. Now, my aunt says she has heard that too, and she has no AN, so maybe it's just a random brain thing. I heard a radio softly playing somewhere, like it was on a talk radio station. The bathroom fans played me harp music. Everything that people have said on this thread, I have had experience with too. So, one morning, after the doorbell incident, I said to myself, I hear doorbells and there's no one there. Saying that brought to mind this old song. You can go to this link and hear the music and have your own karaoke thing going on, if you want. Original title (I wonder why) You're Just in Love, by Irving Berlin, 1950. My apologies, Mr. Berlin.
This is actually supposed to be a duet, with one person singing the first part and one person singing the second part at the same time. I keep thinking that there should be a Talent Show at the next symposium and two of you could belt this out for one and all.

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
We might as well commiserate,
Because it’s the same for you and me.
