Musicogenic seizures
Sun, 09/30/2018 - 17:47Topic: Share Your Story
I have musicogenic seizures, a rare type of reflex epilepsy. Since being diagnosed almost 15 years ago in my mid twenties, I’ve met many people with epilepsy, but no one with musicogenic seizures. Does anyone out there have seizures triggered by music? Just seeing if there’s someone else
When I was younger some songs

When I was younger some songs did cause seizures. Mostly songs with dissonance, (this was in the 90’s and I learned to listen only to CDs when riding in the car). Many meds later, songs are not bothersome, but some noises still are.
