better word for "audio hallucination"

[TechBoyJK]

If you can hallucinate, which would be seeing false images with your eyes, what would it be if your ears "hallucinated"? I don't want to sound like an idiot, because I think hallucinate is technically referring to a visual context. I guess I'm looking for the technical word for your ears playing tricks on you.

 

[loup garou]

"hearing things"

 

[Spamela]

the term "hallucination" is appropriate for any of the senses, not just vision, IIRC.

 

[tweakmm]

Auditory hallucination.

 

[bsmithy]

Spamela is right.

hallucination

read

"Perception of visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, or gustatory experiences without an external stimulus and with a compelling sense of their reality, usually resulting from a mental disorder or as a response to a drug"

Dude.. the first time I did acid, I had hardcore music going on in my head the whole time... and it was completely independent of the actual techno music that was going on.. It was like 2 songs at once but without them clashing - definitely a neato experience.

that's correct.

Some patients with schizophrenia, for example, may have auditory or visual hallucinations. Sometimes, they hear the devil telling them to do certain things.

Schizophrenia...
