Hearing voices in ones' head when no one is actually talking is known in medicine as an auditory hallucination. These auditory hallucinations can take on many different forms. Sometimes, the voices are indistinguishable from each other, and can be numerous. Often, the voices are heard clearly to say demeaning and derrogatory things about the victim of these hallucinations, and are then called persecutory auditory hallucinations.

These hallucinations are one of the hallmarks of the condition known as psychosis, and can indicate an underlying psychiatric disorder like schizophrenia. The sufferer of such auditory hallucinations should seek a physician's help as soon as possible.
