Hi boltsdraggin
It sounds from your medical history that your past injuries you have caused it and I think it would be a good idea as phillipa suggested to get medical help. I think they would probably start off with an EEG and then if that did not show the problem move on to a scan.
It is associated with all sorts of different conditions from OCD to epilespy, I had it for 6 months when I was 19 but I was also very mentally unwell at time with psychotic depression and did not hear voices only the songs going around and around and around.
It was most disconcerting, as you know, as I can never remember the words to songs at the best of times but these were playing crystal clear and when the same one that I was hearing came on the radio and I could compare them and it was word perfect in my head and freaked me out even more.
The brain is a very complex organ and despite me being very depressed at the time the Doctors seemed to just dismiss the problem, when I seemed to think it must have some kind of diagnositc significance. Mind you it was almost 20 years ago now and I am in the UK where the service is not that good.
I hope someone else will have more knowledge on the subject than I do and offer you a more concerete opinion. I dont think you need to worry about being stigmatised by your Doctors and I definitely think you should see one, even if it just for some reassurance.
Take care
James
