=== === People who have auditoryhallucinations or "voices in their heads" are referred to as schizophrenic, which is commonly mistaken for MPD or multiple personality disorder. It is mostly characterized by abnormalities in the understanding or expression of reality caused by an increased dopamine activity in certain parts of the brain. Certain effect of the disorder includes audio and visual hallucination, paranoia and odd delusions. One of the more common effects of the hallucination is the manifestation of an entity that appears or speaks to the schizophrenic patient. "Voices in the head" is a misconception; the brain is telling the person that they are actually hearing them. So they hear voices that aren't there, but are actually in their head.

The most common theory is insanity. In general, it isn't considered normal to hear voices. Most of our explanations come from sufferers of schizophrenia. BUT many times the voices simply comment on what the individual is doing at the time. Everybody has some amount of voices, but usually it is their own voice, thinking. If you are hearing other voices, you should probably talk to a doctor about that..

BUT you are not alone over 4% of the population reported having voices in their head

Hearing voices is commonly described as : auditory hallucinations: an experience not present in real life and perceived through the ears. This is in contrast to visual hallucinations (eyes), olfactory (nose), tactile (touch), gustatory (taste). One must differentiate between a hallucination which is an experience iof hearing in the ear someone is talking, or a group of people talking about you in clear day light, and even in the presence of others, or music FROM Intrusive thoughts": these are ideas that keep repeating themselves in the mind not in the ears of the person. Auditory hallucinations can occur in the context of schizophrenia, illicit drug use, dementia, delirium (confusion).

Intrusive thoughts mostly occur in obsessive disorder. ANSWER It's called white noise.

schizophrenia can cause auditory hallucinations which manifest as voices in your ears that are heard only by you. Voices in your head are different. Everyone has that inner voice that is called your conscience. When you think you are hearing actual voices from the outside through your ears and no one else hears them it's called psychosis.

Many people hear voices but never consider them to be a problem. At one time it may have been thought to have been a mental health issue, but this assumption is less popular these days. Sometimes it is thought that the voices have an important message for the hearer. There is no definitive answer, join a group of similar minded people who discuss the cause and effect
