Mandy's symptoms suggest amusia, which is a condition characterized by difficulty in perceiving and appreciating music as well as difficulty in differentiating between tones of varying frequencies. Nerve deafness and conduction deafness are related to hearing loss and involve difficulty in perceiving and understanding sounds, but they do not necessarily affect the perception of music. Tinnitus is a ringing or buzzing noise in the ear and is not related to difficulty in perceiving different tones.
