Of course, such a question may seem nonsense to many, but do not rush to conclusions.
In the mid-sixties, the American magazine Newsweek published interesting information on its pages. Since 1960, one woman has become constantly disturbed by an incomprehensible noise that no one else heard. One of the researchers at the University of California, Clarence Whiskey, became interested in an unusual case.
Initially, he carefully examined the house and found scattered electromagnetic fields generated by electrical wires. The researcher then recorded these inaudible signals on a tape recorder and gave it to the woman to listen to. It turned out that she did hear them, while for the other inhabitants of the house they remained elusive.
K. Whiskey conducted a number of experiments for greater persuasiveness. He sent radio signals to the house where the woman lived and did not report anything about them. After that, the US citizen always complained about the noises. According to the magazine, at a conference of specialists in biological and medical equipment in Los Angeles, researchers concluded that a woman may "hear" AC fields.
A little later, studies conducted by American scientists confirmed the fact that a person is able to perceive sound messages carried by radio waves. It seemed to the subjects in the irradiation zone that the sound source was located either in the brain or directly behind the head. When the participants moved within the range of radio waves, their sensations did not change. They did not depend on the direction in which the person's head was turned. The sound disappeared only when the subject's temporal region was covered by a screen.
Curiously, even a noise of 90 decibels (such a roar is created by a truck at a distance of 7 meters from it) did not drown out the radio sound. It turned out that if a person is placed in an isolation chamber, where noise from external sources does not penetrate, then his sensitivity to the perception of radio sound becomes comparable to the sensitivity of a good receiver. However, 90 percent of the energy of radio waves is absorbed in the tissues of the skull.
Scientists suggest that the centers of perception of radio frequency "sounds" are located in the cochlea and cerebral cortex. There are probably people who have an increased ability to perceive radio sound.

Radio tooth
When people start to hear different voices in their heads, doctors traditionally think they are crazy, but, as it turned out, this point of view is not always correct. In the 1930s, an employee consulted an American psychiatrist. She claimed that she suddenly began to hear different voices and music in her “head”. The doctor quickly realized that his patient was "hearing" the local radio station. It turned out that all the troubles she started after visiting the dentist.
He filled the woman's tooth with cement of a special composition. It contained a slight admixture of carborundum. Crystals of this substance, a typical semiconductor, together with tooth tissues created a detector receiver. The detector was a carborundum crystal, which converted radio waves into sound vibrations. The latter were perceived by the nerve endings of the tooth and transmitted by the auditory center of the brain.
And in 1999, the Canadian newspaper Toronto Star reported even more surprising information. Researchers from the University of Toronto found that 5 percent of people who suddenly begin to hear the "inner voice" are completely healthy. Such people, as it turned out, had not visited dentists for a long time, their fillings and crowns were deformed and became able to receive signals from closely located radio stations. From this, the head of the research group Paul Brand concluded that such people need a dentist, not a psychiatrist.
Case from practice
In December 1999, student K. from one of the higher educational institutions applied for psychological help. He complained of increased fatigue, frequent headaches towards the end of classes, and increased irritability.
However, the most important thing is that after suffering psychological stress, he suddenly began to hear a voice “inside his head”. It appeared at a strictly defined time (at 12 and 16 o'clock), lasted about 15-20 minutes. Usually the “inner voice” would give advice on what K. should eat for lunch or dinner, how much time should be spent on preparing for classes, etc.
The first thing that came to mind was that the young man had auditory hallucinations. They explained to him very tactfully that only a narrow specialist could provide help, but the student categorically refused to consult a psychiatrist. “They'll also think I'm crazy,” he said. And he stubbornly continued to insist that he clearly hears the "voice": "In a few minutes you will be able to see for yourself." The clock was 15 hours 55 minutes.
At exactly 4 pm K. announced: "The voice has appeared." Pressing his ear to the student's ear, the psychologist clearly heard the male baritone. An unknown person recommended the student to have dinner with only fermented milk products today ?! There was no limit to amazement, because I had never encountered such phenomena before.
After 18 minutes, the voice in the student's head disappeared. Only now it was possible to realize that this case had nothing to do with psychiatry. By the way, later it was rejected the suggestion that K. may have heard the transmission of the local radio station. First, he did not go to the dentist before the onset of the phenomenon. Secondly, with the help of the Spidol receiver, it was not possible to find the “station” on which the nonsense that the student heard was transmitted.
K. was recommended to undergo a course of training in the techniques of autogenous training using biofeedback. And they began to look for an experienced specialist in anomalous phenomena who could clarify the nature of the phenomenon, but after a week and a half he was no longer needed. While mastering the course of autogenous training, the “voice” in K.'s head suddenly disappeared and did not resume again.
