welcome to hcm,
constant humming without any reason may be because of alzeimers disease or dementia. which are common in elderly. take her to a psychiatrist. it may of good benifit for some.some humming will not change even after medications. humming persons always want to communicate something. try to communicate with her with some children. when they start speaking with children it may dissappear in due course.
