Clairaudience is the psychic ability of intuitive hearing. The word clairaudience means “clear hearing”, and it is one of the five multidimensional forms of perception (the other four are clairsentience, clairvoyance, claircognizance and clairalience).
A person who is clairaudient hears sounds and voices from higher realms and other dimensions that are inaudible to others. These sounds and voices can be messages from their Higher Self, spirit guides, angels, or loved ones in the spirit world. It’s important to note that in healthy individuals, clairaudience is not a sign of a mental illness.
Clairaudience is similar to clairvoyance in that it is a subtle form of spirit communication. For this reason, it’s easy to mistake clairaudient messages for your own inner voice and overlook it. But if you think you might be clairaudient, it helps to learn more about the qualities of people who have this unique intuitive gift. Here are the six most common characteristics of people who are naturally clairaudient:
1. They live in the present moment.
People who are naturally clairaudient are often highly skilled at living in the present moment, meaning that they have the ability to bring their full attention to the here and now rather than on thoughts of past or future. Because of their ability to be present, they come across to others as good listeners and may even appear to have above-average hearing. In reality their hearing is average, but their presence allows them to pick up on subtle noises in their environment that other people don’t notice such as a train whistle or dog barking in the distance. Their presence allows them to be equally attuned to the inner realm of intuition and spiritual guidance.
2. They are natural listeners.
People who are clairaudient are natural listeners. They usually enjoy listening to others and have a strong inner voice. They may “talk to themselves” often and work through problems in their head using inner conversation.
3. They are auditory learners.
People who are clairaudient often have an auditory learning style – they learn best through listening rather than reading or watching a demonstration. It is easy for someone who is clairaudient to remember what they have heard and they enjoy listening to audio books, talks and speeches. They prefer an audio book to an e-book or paper book.
4. They are drawn to music and are often musical.
People who are clairaudient have a strong appreciation for music. They turn on their favorite music to feel uplifted and are drawn to other beautiful sounds such as birds singing or wind blowing through the trees.
Clairaudient individuals will often receive intuitive messages in the form of lyrics or a song repeating in their head. This is one of the easiest ways for Spirit to relay a message to someone who is clairaudient.
People who are clairaudient also often have musical talents themselves. They may play by ear or write music that they hear in their mind.
5. They are highly sensitive people (HSPs) who need quiet time.
As with all other types of highly intuitive individuals, people who are clairaudient are part of the 20% of the population who are more sensitive than the average person. They are especially sensitive to noise and can be easily overwhelmed by loud or erratic sounds. Because loud noise can be anxiety-inducing for those who are clairaudient, they often avoid concerts, parties and loud environments and crave quiet time.
It’s important for people who are clairaudient to avoid excessive noise. They may benefit from wearing earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones in noisy environments (for other tips on navigating life as an HSP I highly recommend the book The Highly Sensitive Person by Elaine Aron).
6. They hear sounds, voices and other noises that are inaudible to others.
The classic sign that a person is clairaudient is the fact that they hear sounds, voices and other noises that are inaudible to others. These auditory messages often convey spiritual messages and psychic information from other realms of existence.
People who are clairaudient may also hear their name being called when no one is around, or experience buzzing, ringing or popping in their ears for no apparent reason (this is often a sign that you are either becoming more clairaudient, or are receiving a download of intuitive information).

Being clairaudient is an amazing gift that should be used with reverence. Ultimately we want to use all of our sixth senses to heal ourselves and others. If you’ve had a clairaudient experience or have any questions about clairaudience, I’d love to hear from you! Please leave a comment below.

Hi! Other than living in the present (I am not very good at that) this totally describes me. However the voices I hear are usually muffled, the best way to describe it, it sounds like a group of people talking in another room. Will that become clearer or will they always sound muffled?
Hi Katharine, you can definitely work to clarify your clairaudience which will make the voices clearer. I’ll be writing a blog on how to develop clairaudience soon 🙂
I woke up from dreaming about my twin flame and I immediately heard his ring tone. It was so clear and vivid!
That’s amazing Neka. I love it 🙂
Thank you for explaining this question that kept me busy since I was a child. I always hearing things , calling my name, buzzing , telephone ringing [ but there was no phone }, voices of the male or males wishpering or talking in down voice. I though I needed to see a specialist to control my nerves of my ears. Now I feel reassure that nothing wrong with me.And I would like to share with you that some time I saw a very clear beautiful light but its always happened in the middle of the night or early morning between 2 to am.
Hi my name is Jose and for the past couple years Ive been seeing visions and now as I’m writing someone in my mind started speaking to me now back in 1995 I had an uncle I had never met which my mom always talked about and I always see the same numbers mostly 111 222 and 333 now he past away that year and I was born 2000 so I’m 18 now but all of a sudden he had a consersation with me in my head and I was trying figure out whether or not I’m going crazy but he replied suler fast so it can’t be in mind right? I jsut need help
Im been told things i ask and information come to me in My inner voise/thought i got to know i was going to love out without planing it Myself and i was given information that my husband was going to kick me out and divorce me one day before he did so .. Is this good for me or should i Do something about it ?
I started hearing faraway music when there was white noise around. Now I can hear what seems like “hot spot” a vortex, a hole where the music or voices are so much clearer. Sometimes I can hear music or faint voices where there isn’t white noise around me. I’m getting small enhancements but this has been happening for the last 10 months and I’m not at a point where I can actually understand what’s going on. Sometimes I will hear internally as well only not as often. Any suggestions on moving forward?
I’ve noticed no one ever really mentions hearing sounds that seem to originate either in the future/past or hearing someone’s thoughts which might actually just be precognitive also? Almost every site talks about spiritual part of this ability but seems to neglect those other aspects.. I’ve experienced some of these and they are quite disorienting to say the least. Also there’s always mention of musical talent and I can tell right now I have none, so why they keep emphasizing this is baffling to me..
Well I need some serious closure on things. So right now I’m 13 but ever since I was little I would dream about things then as I grew up I would experience the EXACT thing I dreamed and it’s still happening till this day and sometimes it freaks me out, and yes I’ve been experiencing things that were described as clairaudient ever since I was little too. But somethings I don’t get is that when I was about 5 or 6 I would see black figures in shady rooms or kinda dark hallways or even in light sometimes. Plus now that I’m getting older I’m starting to do things only witch’s can do or psychics, and for my age I’m really smart and talented. People say at my age I’m supposed to be hanging out with friends or doing girly things And being dumb but instead of that I rather be looking outside or being with nature or reading a book or drawing and I’m a loner. Crazy thing is that my dad and mom would experience things like me but only once in their life. Something that I need to include is that last year my grandpa had died and I didn’t know it but I remember that night I had a dream about him telling me too be good and everything, then the next day my family said he had died in his sleep. Also when I dream I can do whatever I like and even go to place’s around my house and I could SEE my body sleeping. It’s weird but whatever. Sometimes I get real tired when those things happen to me but all I want to know is what’s wrong with me.
Hi,
The past 8 years or so I’ve experience sleep paralysis where I could hear different sounds such as what I can describe as radio tuning, melodies, voices, animal sounds such as a tiger, or wolves, what I perceived as angels, and the creepiest of them all were demonic languages.
I’m just now learning that it’s a psychic ability, thankfully I do not here the dark/fear inducing sounds anymore, but I have recently noticed this week that there is pressure randomly throughout the day in my right ear. It feels like I’m under water…not sure what it means. Would love some resources…
I had a sleep paralysis episode a few days ago, and I sometimes see shadow figures…and can interpret it’s intent…why is it always creepy beings? Lol any way thanks for letting me share.
Hi,
I have been hearing lyrics to a song recently the same song. I don’t play the radio in my vehicle while driving. I know intuitive msgs come this way but who is this in regards to…..?
