Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tanner is experiencing an ear worm, which is a phenomenon where a catchy tune or melody gets stuck in a person's head and plays on repeat like a broken record. It is a common occurrence that can happen to anyone and is not considered a medical condition like tinnitus or the tin ear effect. There is no glitch in left/right brain transference related to this situation.
