If the brain starts filtering out the tinitus, then that spectrum of hearing is gone. Even hearing loss can be from a filter problem in the brain.
What is it?
Musical hallucination (MH) is the experience of hearing music when none is being played. Hearing sound that no-one else can hear is quite common, but the experience is normally of a simple sound such as a buzzing, ringing, or sizzling: this is known as tinnitus. In a small number of people however, these experiences can be more complex and emotive, and music can be heard.
What is it like?
Musical hallucinations have a compelling sense of reality and are often mistaken for real music until it becomes clear that none is being played. This is especially true when they are experienced for the first time. They are typically heard as short fragments of simple melodies - often from music heard regularly and familiar from youth, and especially from hymns and carols. Individuals with hearing loss sometimes notice that the music in these hallucinations sounds as it did when it was first heard and not how it would with their current level of hearing.
Who gets it?
Although anyone can experience MH, it is more common in women than in men, as well as in those over 60 years of age. Individuals who live alone, and those with hearing loss are also more likely to experience MH.
What causes it?
In most individuals with MH there is no underlying cause found; however MH can sometimes be caused by serious conditions. Very rarely, it can be caused by problems with the blood vessels in the brain or by brain tumours. In these conditions there are likely to be other symptoms, but your doctor might choose to perform some investigations to rule them out. MH is also more common in individuals who have epilepsy or Alzheimer’s disease. It is therefore very important to mention to your doctor if you have MH and experience changes in your vision, dizziness, severe headaches, problems with your speech or difficulties with movements.

I would be so unworthy of such a thing. Sure wouldn't mind having a little bit more understanding and awareness, but please God, I don't want anything that will make feel uncomfortable. I need to look into the Pineal gland a little more. My understanding of it is scant. Thanks, I'll be doing some research on that.

Thank you for all your replies. I'm going to do some more research. Especially the one that indicated that one third of people that hear music may have some form of epilepsy. I'm not sold on the new age, but still worth a look. I'm not closed minded to anything. I'm here right? LOL

In dealing with my tinnitus, I have never heard chanting music ever. Usually it sounds more like orchestra or big band. The coincidence is just too spooky.
