Earworms and be careful of what you wish for.

I try not to dwell on it, but, a high pitch SCreeeeeeeeeee..........Best I can describe it. I don't notice it while the edger/string trimmer/mower/TV/what ever at the time are running though.

That's tinnitus, usually caused by a lifetime of loud noises.

I thought maybe it was just Hillary Clinton speeches running through his head - I get a similar effect when I hear her speak

I find it best to just not hear her speak ;-)

Oh the joy of tinnitus, I have it in both ears and sometimes it is so loud that it keeps me from restful sleep....

I hear ya Jim. I left the Army with a 20% hearing loss in both ears.
The sound that never sleeps ... or lets you sleep LOL.

So true Andy, after only 3 years in the late 70's I left the Army with very high pitch squeal in one ear & they said very minimal hearing loss, they said.........

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Jim,
Well I said hearing loss .... "heating loss" sounds like a whole other kettle of fish ... LOL

I love Katy Perry, as long as the volume is off, and she bouncing up and down.

Ahhhh... The squeal of the Banshee...

Ah yep.......I really only notice it when I'm sitting here at the computer in the quiet of the morning. Thing is, I don't notice it when I'm out in the middle of, say, Siltcoos or Tahkenitch lake fishing? It's a sometimes thing I guess.

Ohrwurms are usually simple tunes. When I have one I get on youtube and listen to some classical music. It's complex enough that the ohrwurm is usually gone by then. Here's an example:

Soul-less experts make radio and TV commercials around annoyingly simplistic ditties that stick in your mind, usually with the product name jabbing repeatedly at your brain like a dagger. Basturds...

When I worked in a busy control tower decades ago, I sometimes had to call a reliever up from the radar room to cover for me, even during heavy traffic, so I could go outside to my truck and obliterate an annoying earworm put there by one of my co-workers - on purpose! The opening guitar riffs of Killing Yourself to Live usually took care of whatever was bugging me.

I'm not interested in Katy Perry's music, but I have no problem with a persistent eyeworm I experience featuring her magnificent breasts.

Speakers up!

Speaking of Burt Reynolds, back in the day I worked in central Florida and was on the roadside working when I heard tires squealing and looked up and low and behold there was the Bandit haulin bubblegum with a camera truck following in tow......
No I didn't appear on any of the shows either.... I could have been a Hollywood movie star!!!!!!

Oh and thanks a lot, now I've got that tune stuck in my head!!!!!

That tune will stick with you, until you can get something to replace it.....

Pretty neat seeing "The Bandit", on the road!!!

It was a great moment & something to tell the grand kids one day.
We lived 12 miles from his horse farm in Ocala but he really liked his seclusion.
