Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing back.
Three possibilities are there for your problem.
First is some ear problem. There is inner ear which is responsible for hearing sounds. If some problem is there with it, production of echoes and wrong judgement about sound distant can occur.For evaluation of this you need to consult Ear,Nose,Throat (ENT) specialist.
There may be some problem in your brain auditory centers which interpret sounds wrongly.TO assess this condition neurological examination and investigations are required.For evaluation of this you need to consult neurophysician.
Considering your past history and other discussion on this forum with me and other doctors, there should be anxiety problem likely. Feeling echoes,frightening, repeating voices in head suggest some sort of anxiety problem.
Due to anxiety , you can not concentrate on others talk. Their communication is not registered in your mind.So you need to ask them again what they have said.
If ENT specialist and Neurologist can not find any cause, anxiety is the likely possibility and psychiatrist is the best doctor for treatment.
Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
