> > > Hear colors??????? What on earth... no I don't think so. Your response made me laugh Lou, but seriously, do people really "hear colors"? What exactly does that mean? Sounds very intereting.

If anyone out there has that, please let me know for I thought that the person with olfactory hallucinations could also have the other. Also, tinnatus management does not help with my condition. The music rises above any technique that a tinnatus sufferer uses.I also tried hearing aids. If you know anything else, please respond. I must have the music to stop

> "Synesthesia" or merging of the senses is a common phenomenon in psychedelic use. I "saw" sounds and "heard" colors while tripping on Orange Sunshine (LSD 250 mcg.) in the late 60's. I enjoyed it, but once I had to use chloral hydrate after it went on for almost 24 hours. ~~ BlueIn, I believe Oliver Sacks book, the Man who mistook his wife for a Hat, he describes the case of an elderly lady who after a stroke, heard music from her Irish childhood playing continuously inside her head. It's a fascinating book. Jan
