Eleanor White wrote to me recently (and to others) as follows, about a novel proposed treatment for V2K abuse that might also work for schizophrenia or other voice-hearing aetiologies.

There is a countermeasure being used by people who hear "voices" they presume to be artificial in origin, conversationally called "voice to skull harassment." These people report relief as a result of using this idea. The idea is to play, either through a speaker or by way of a portable MP3 player using headphones, a "jumble" of audio tracks from radios playing different talk-oriented stations. This has allowed people with heavy voice to skull experiences to break their attention free from the content of the voices, and allows them a rest from forced attention 24/7.
This countermeasure *downloadable* from this link:

I'd like to suggest that this countermeasure might well provide at least some welcome relief for psychiatric patients troubled by "voices" of NATURAL illness origin as well.

I have listened to one of the soundtracks on Eleanor's webpage, and so has a colleague, with a schizophrenia diagnosis, who exclaimed delightedly, "It stops my voices completely!" I'd appreciate feedback from anybody else who tries it. If you hear voices, and would like this to stop, then, does this home remedy work for you?
Note to community members,
I logged on to the web site linked to and listened for three minutes to the audio of the competing voices.
It sounds like what you would hear if you had SZ and heard voices.
I would leave it up to you whether you would like to hear the "soundtrack" talked about in this SharePost, or whether you would like to try another coping skill when you hear a voice. The article quoted is from 1974.
Again, I will be writing a SharePost in May about coping skills for hearing voices.

Really? Wow! It's nothing like what TIs say they hear, nor the fellow with a SZ diagnosis who tried the one of the soundtracks, and found it effective in empowering him to ignore, and not even to notice, his own voices, if, indeed, they were continuing whilst he was listening. Do you have an SZ diagnosis yourself, and hear voices? If so, do the soundtracks sound like what you hear? If not, how do you know what voices heard by SZ people and allegedly SZ TIs sound like?
Hello,
I have heard a simulation of voices via a device that recreates the experience.
