Auditory hallucinations
Auditory hallucinations: Introduction
Hallucinations can affect any of the senses
including sight (visual hallucinations),
hearing sounds of voices (auditory hallucinations)
or other senses (e.g. taste hallucinations).
Hallucinations can occur from many causes,
ranging from causes such as hallucinations from a high fever (esp. in
children or the elderly),
various types of drug use or intoxication,
brain disorders (e.g. epilepsy),
or from delusional disorders such as schizoprenia (and variants of these
disorders).
Many causes are possible
