This is a real problem for some people, so:

For the people afflicted with ear and/or mind worms, may they have peace.
 
Lord, please grant peace of mind and graces for temperance and joy to anyone suffering from ear or mind worms or any physical or spiritual affliction. Draw such souls through every suffering and every joy of their lives to the comforting love of your Sacred Heart. Lead and minister to them all with holy angels. Have mercy, Lord. Our Lady, pray with us. Amen.

I did not realize there were people on Alpha Centauri, but earworms can be quite irritating even here on Earth. :rolleyes:
 
Say, how are you defining ear worms? My only association with this has been positive. As in the tune of a hymn, or a line of the hymn that keeps running in your head, or a phrase of scripture that lingers for several days. I really see these as blessings. The context here seems different. Help!

I think Jozefo is having a little fun. His signature line is a clue.

I’ve known two people who were afflicted by these things. They continually hear music over and over and over. Just recently, a person very close to me was complaining about it, that it has been worrying that she was going insane. The music never stops. I told her that it’s not unheard of, and reminded her that we had another relative who complained of the same thing in her later years.

This is very bothersome to the people suffering it. I’m very serious about this problem, and feel sad that there’s nothing that can be done about it.

Oh this is no joke. As for my signature, I just got tired of having to say something about my opinions being only opinions. I look at some things quite differently than most people, and my opinions tend to bother some of them.

If true, and I now don’t doubt you are being serious, then the issue would seem more related to attention deficit disorder (ADD) since these individuals seem to have difficulties with the capacity to focus on what they intend to focus on and are, instead, being carried along by internal “stimuli.” Perhaps the answer is to positively develop or practice focus rather than passively allow oneself to be preoccupied by what need not be so bothersome. In other words, taking control of the internal mental stream rather than be carried off by it, akin to learning to swim rather than floundering in one’s thoughts.

You may be right, but both the people I have experience with are/were on medications that interfered with mental acuity. I suggested to both to try focusing on something else, but invariably the music returns. One took to turning the tv on very loud, and trying to sleep that way. Can you imagine?
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

†

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

I didn’t know there was such a thing until I saw them for myself. One in the ear of someone with multiple personalities. One in the nose of a Jehovah’s witness around the same time. I didn’t even know they were until I looked it up. I don’t know much about them but I do know they exist.
