====Internal auditory hallucinations====

'''Internal auditory hallucinations''' can be described as the perception of hallucinated ~~noises~~ that sound as if the specific location of their source does not have a particular sense of distance or direction attributed to it and that the ~~noises~~ are instead occurring within ~~one~~'s own head. This is in ~~stark~~ contrast to external auditory hallucinations, which sound as if they are occurring seamlessly within the external environment as if they were actually happening.

'''Internal auditory hallucinations''' can be described as the perception of hallucinated audio that sound as if the specific location of their source does not have a particular sense of distance or direction attributed to it and that the sounds are instead occurring within a person's own head. This is in contrast to external auditory hallucinations, which sound as if they are occurring seamlessly within the external environment as if they were actually happening.

The experience of this effect can be broken down into three distinct levels of intensity. These are described and documented below:

This effect is capable of manifesting itself across the 4 different levels of intensity described below:

#'''Partially defined embedded hallucinations''' - At the lowest level, the hallucinated sounds lack clarity and may be indistinct, muffled, and difficult to make out. They are also only heard embedded within real sounds occurring within the external environment. For example, a person may hear subtle music or voices embedded within the ~~sounds~~ of the wind, cars, and rain. These hallucinations sound as if they are coming from an unspecifiable direction somewhere within the external environment.

These hallucinations sound as if they are coming from an unspecifiable direction somewhere within the external environment.

#'''Partially defined separate hallucinations''' - At this level, the sounds remain only partially defined, but are heard on a separate layer of their own instead of only manifesting themselves as embedded within other noises. They will also begin to sound as if they are occurring from a vaguely specifiable direction or source within the external environment.

#'''Fully defined separate hallucinations''' - At this level, the sounds become fully defined in their clarity, meaning that the content of the hallucinations can be recognized and heard perfectly as if they were actually occurring. They will also sound as if they originate from a specific location within the external environment in a manner which is so lifelike that it will often confuse the person into believing it was a real sound.</onlyinclude>
