Episode 108: Auditory Hallucinations

We've all thought we've heard something and been mistaken. But what if you were persistently having these experiences? What if the sounds were vivid? Like an actual voice or song? What if you plugged your ears and the noise was coming from inside your head?

This is different from a hearing problem or when some people say there's a narrator in their head. This is just how normal sound sounds to us, except it seems to be coming from inside your head. I'm talking about auditory hallucinations, also known as paracusias.

Within my research into this topic, I also came across something called exploding head syndrome. And do I have some stories to share with you today. These types of experiences can also happen in such a way that the sound appears to come from another room.

For me, the big question is, can this all be explained by science? Or could this have something to do with psychic/medium like abilities? Could this have links to the paranormal? I'll leave that up to you.

Today we will dive into auditory hallucinations.
