What Causes Auditory Hallucinations?

I have heard voices since I was a child, now at 50yrs old they just went away and all I get now is ocassionally I hear my name called. When I used to hear them talking I had images as well of them as imaginary people. sometimes I would feel like others could hear them. is it possible I am in remission for good?

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
They are auditory hallucinations. They are heard only bu the patients having an illness and not by the others. Its still not scientifically proved, why there should be hallucinations. However they can be treated with antipsychotics like olanzapine , risperidone or aripiprazole etc.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
