Can A Person In Coma Due To Head Injury Hear The Outsiders?

My brother is in a coma from a severe fall on his head. He had two bleeds in the frontal and temperal area. He also had to be resuscitated twic en route to the hospital. He is coma score is a 5, mostly due to being able to open and blink his eyes although they don t seem to follow. His EEC/G (?) showed minimal brain movement. Here s my question: It really seems like he s looking at me and hearing me when I m talking to him. Is this remotely possible given the severity of his injuries.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the sensorium being alter and CNS score is just 5 then prognosis is not good, but such case may need clinical examination and investigation like MRI study but right now nothing can be said for sure, time will tale us, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
