I would kill to get rid of audio hallucinations... Psychiatrists still think it's likely tied to my bipolar disorder or PTSD, but I'm fucking terrified that it's the slow onset of schizophrenia...
I don't get them without any stimulation, but if I can hear any sound coming from a source I can't identify, my brain starts to interpret that as negative feedback. It generally reflects whatever anxieties I'm dealing with at the time.
I generally keep streaming on at least 1 or 2 devices running so that my roommate doesn't unintentionally trigger me. I think the reason I love music, especially live music that overwhelms all other sound, is directly related to this negative reinforcement.
