Ron Goldspnik, an 87-year-old resident of the British city of Bilton, suffers from an unusual illness. The pensioner constantly hears the anthem of England in his head, which is performed by a male choir. Every week "God Save the Queen" sounds in his head more than 1.6 thousand times, Metro reports.
According to Ron, at first he thought the anthem was playing in the neighbors' apartment.
“I went to complain to them, but they said they never listened to the British anthem at home. Then I realized that the problem was not with them, but with me,”said the Briton.
Goldspnik says the anthem started "attending" him about four months ago.
A rare disease from which the Briton suffers is called "music ear syndrome", it occurs in every 10 thousand people over 65 years old. In older people, hearing loss is sometimes accompanied by musical hallucinations.
The Briton claims that sometimes the anthem sounds deafening in his head. The attending physician of a pensioner does not know how to help him.
The only way Ron discovered for himself to combat the hallucination was to turn on the TV louder in the background.
In the near future, the pensioner plans to meet with the Queen, who will come to his hometown, and inform Elizabeth II that he has heard the British anthem more times than she.
