My wife and I were making dinner and I turned to her and said "we should play some music while we cook". She just stared at me, and then I realized there WAS music playing - but it was some vapid, jangly rock music - and my brain completely blocked it out! I realize my brain totally tunes out any music other than soul/R&B/gospel/etc. I guess you do something long enough and you rewire your head!

 

 

  

So the culprit is revealed eh ... 

 

 

I can tune out most banal music apart from heavy bass beats, the tinnitus helps in that respect
