What it is like to hear voices that no-one else can hear?
Hearing voices is an important aspect of many people’s lives. It is an experience that can be distressing and upsetting, but also positive and meaningful.
Our research project ran from 2012–2022. It provided a better understanding of voice-hearing by examining it from different academic perspectives and working with people with lived experience, mental health professionals and voluntary organisations.
About Us
Based at Durham University, Hearing the Voice was an interdisciplinary research project that brought academics from anthropology, cognitive neuroscience, history, linguistics, philosophy, English studies, medical humanities, theology and psychology together with clinicians, artists, activists and experts by experience in order to improve the way people understand, clinically treat and live with experiences of hearing voices.
The project is now closed. It was generously supported by the Wellcome Trust.

Voice-hearers: What are your priorities for research into the other experiences and changes that accompany voices?
Many people who hear voices say that they sometimes experience other changes at the same time. These can include seeing visions, receiving special messages, synchronicities, physical sensations, and changes in thinking. We are interested in learning more about these experiences. If you hear voices, self-define as a voice-hearer, or have experienced things that are similar we invite you to help us identify the key priorities for future research.
