Does anybody else find listening to these sound files effective at curtailing the hearing of voices?
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, who exclaimed, "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?
Hi John Allman,
I am not someone with SZ who ever heard voices; I had different, nonetheless debilitating, symptoms when I got sick.
So I'll defer to those of us who can vouch for your technique.
Best regards,
Christina

My psychiatrist told me many times to use a walkman. Walkman is a word for people my age or older. She really meant something like a portable radio or mp3 player. In short, if you listen to music through head-phones, ear-phones, or similar, it helps with hallucinations which are voices. It does not work as well if you listen to music through regular speakers. I have felt that if I have voices and a put on ear-phones, after some minutes of listening to anything (even five minutes might work wonders), which could include a talk radio show, news over the radio, or any music which calls your attention or musical taste, voices stop or diminish quite a bit.
I plan to buy wireless head-phones and try the same thing I do with a portable radio, with a tv set, like simply watching tv or watching a movie from a dvd-player.
Again, this only works if you have audio-hallucinations (commonly called voices). This really doesn't work for other symptoms of schizophrenia in my case, like for example, releasing way too much adrenaline.
Best regards,
Me.
