1 / 2

Auditory hallucinations are sounds a person hears even when there is no external source. These may include voices, music, knocking, buzzing, or someone calling your name. The condition is not always linked to schizophrenia. It can also be connected to stress, sleep deprivation, fever, certain medications, alcohol or drug withdrawal, hearing loss, and neurological conditions such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, stroke, or Alzheimer's disease. The post also explains why some people search for “hallucination hearing” online, and it discusses the microwave auditory effect and Patent US4877027A. It notes that a patent does not prove a technology has actually been built or used in the way some online claims suggest. If hallucinations happen often, cause distress, or appear with confusion, seizures, or after a head injury, medical evaluation is important.

Still, not every strange sound should be brushed off as stress; repeated episodes deserve proper evaluation.

If someone keeps hearing voices, music, or knocking, it makes sense to note when it happens and speak to a clinician.
