You know when your mother tells you the music the loud in your earphones could make you deaf? Now there is a psychiatrist who tells that it could also mess with your BRAIN!

Loud music could make you hallucinate!
Musical hallucination is when a song plays in your head over and over again and appears real ( it is not the same as having a tune “stuck” in your head ).

Dr. Victor Aziz is quoted in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry: “Having a song in your head every now and then is quite normal but musical hallucinations can be quite distressing. People who are bombarded by music tend to hear music. I suspect the rates of hallucinations in orchestral players will be higher than normal. So, as we hear more music every day, cases will probably go up.”

According to his research the sound hallucination occurs when someone goes from a stimulus rich environment to one where no auditory stimulus is. For example listening to your iPod and then going into a quiet office.

The brain starts to generate random impulses and interprets it to be sound. It then matches the memories of music and a song begins to play in your head. This may explain why Beethoven was able to compose after going deaf.
