My mom is 81 years young and started with paranoia (neighbors talking about and after her). It became so bad I moved her in with me. Her fears have subsided dramatically, but she STILL hears music playing at all hours of the night.
Could this be the beginning stages of Alzheimer's? Simple paranoia? Schitzophrenia?

I doubt its schizophrenia because if it was, it probably would have manifested in her YEARS earlier... but i'm not sure on this. it's possible (but unlikley) for it to show in later later life, but the chances are extremly rare. Seek the opinion of a medical proffessional.
