I found the following story, but couldn’t get a good source on the anecdote:

Teacher has musical hallucinations

A maths teacher who persistently hears music playing in her head has teamed up with scientists to learn more about the condition.

Sylvia, 69, has suffered from the rare condition of musical hallucinations for the past decade after she started to go deaf about 20 years ago. At first she developed severe tinnitus but this led to what has been called “the iPod in her head” and due to her musical knowledge she was soon able to notate what she was hearing. “I did everything I could to get rid of them but they persisted,” she said. (PA)

This sounds like it might be false, but if true, it’d be an extremely interesting medical case.
