auditory hallucinations
Auditory hallucinations are experiences where a person hears sounds, voices, or noises that aren't actually present in the environment. These perceptions are created by the brain, often associated with conditions like schizophrenia, severe stress, or certain mental health disorders. The voices or sounds can range from subtle whispers to loud conversations, and they may be friendly or disturbing. Although they seem real to the person, there is no external source for these sounds. Understanding that auditory hallucinations are symptoms caused by brain activity helps in managing and treating them effectively.
