How to get rid of the earworm?

Have you tried that yourself?

@DaddyEvil Good for you!!!

@allknowing I don't listen to music... Once in a while a song will start playing in my mind anyway... Then I start reading a book and after a little while, the song is gone.

@allknowing i had to look it up before realizing it as the LSS which am more familiar with.

I have researched on the web about how to stop it and this is what I got maybe this might help you get rid of it. Tips to Overcome an Earworm: 1. **Chew gum** - Weird but true: chewing gum can reduce the brain’s ability to create auditory imagery. So you're literally *chewing the song out of your head*. 2. **Do a mentally engaging task** - Try a puzzle, Sudoku, or a short memory game. Something that keeps your working memory busy helps crowd out the earworm. 3. **Listen to the full song** - Sometimes the brain is just trying to “resolve” the song. Listening to the entire song from beginning to end can give your brain closure. 4. **Switch to a “cleanser” song** - Replace it with a less catchy tune (some people swear by the *Jeopardy theme* or *God Save the Queen*). Just don’t choose another song that might *become* an earworm. #1 and #3 sounds weird but it might just work 5. **Read out loud or talk to someone** - Activating your speech center interrupts the internal loop playing the song. 6. **Meditation or mindfulness** - Simply acknowledging that the song is there without fighting it can sometimes help it fade more quickly. 7. **Avoid stress** - Earworms often hit when you’re tired or anxious. They can even be a sign your brain is stressed and craving a mental loop to focus on.
