For a long time I have heard what sounds like voices. In the night time when it is very quiet I can hear what sounds like voices talking very, very low. I cannot usually make out much of what is "said", other than a word here or a word there. Nothing that really makes sense. It sounds just like when you have the television going on in another room and you can hear it, but not quite loud enough to understand what is being said.

I hear them if I listen. Over the years I have learned to blot them out so I do not pay any attention to it. But if I think about it and listen carefully, I can hear it. Sometimes I cannot "turn it off" so I will put on a fan, or a white noise machine and that drowns the voices out.

They are always mens voices, by the way (never female). Just now, I went to the bathroom and I could hear them.

Just for the record. It is NOT a tv or forgotten radio left on. There is nothing on. And there are no neighbors close enough for me to hear their TV or radio.

So, do you think I am crazy? Sometimes I wonder what they are and where they are coming from.

No. No painkillers. Once in a while an aspirin, but no prescription things. I have been doing a lot of physical work lately - I thought it might be a side-effect of endorphins, but it happens when I am a couch potato too, so that can't be it.

In that same line of thinking, I had that problem after stopping some meds they put me on after my back surgery, they told me to stop taking them and what you described happened to me. I should have been weaned off slowly.

Lots of possibilities here. You could have DID-Dissociative Identity Disorder. You may want to speak to a Psychotherapist.

People who hear voices are often doing so because they're dealing with a mental illness that has developed over the years. Again, different possibilities. Hope you find your answer/solution.

Honestly, yeah. Hearing voices is not normal. Get it checked out.

Yes, because it is the only place quiet enough to hear them. I have heard them at my mother's house too. So I guess the answer is actually NO. I think that I have heard them other places too, but just assumed they were someone's television or radio. I have heard them at my mom's house too.

Perhaps. But honestly, isn't everyone just a bit mentally ill? I mean, do you really and truly know *anyone* who isn't a tad, crazy. Seriously?
