Letters Are Music To Woman's Ears
A 76 year old nurse writes to DEAR ABBY about hearing musical hallucinations and other sounds, fears of senility, and relief after readers shared similar experiences. Oliver Sacks notes musical epilepsy related to brain damage but says musical hallucinations are common in older people and usually benign. The letter ends with a note about a son in Alaska sending flowers.
