JULIE:Some people hear voices; your father hears songs. What do the songs say? Unless he's making the songs up, there might be a message in the lyrics he didn't notice before or that he really identifies with. Ask him. His answers might help you figure out what steps to follow.Was he a music lover? If so, not being able to hear it must be the greatest tragedy of going deaf and he's probably hanging on to some tunes he'll never be able to listen to again.I urge you to sit down with him and take a trip into his head before some "professional" pigeonholes him into some kind of psychiatric treatment (and medications) that will make his condition worse.Let us know what you find out.-- ED

my mom is always saying she hears music and voices also. She always thinks people are talking about her. Which we are not.
