It appears the symptom of hearing auditory voices may be evidence of "biological entanglement" of neural communication. Schizophrenia do not produces this auditory effect. It is therefore a wrong assumption to pretend the hearing of auditory voices is part of schizophrenia pathology.

 

Audioverbal hallucinations (AVH) are a very important criterion for diagnosing psychosis, which generally has a poor prognosis. However "attenuated psychotic symptoms" are useful in predicting who will go on to develop psychosis (as part of a psychotic disorder). This probably includes milder forms of "hearing voices" where there is a verbal component to it even though it is not perceived as external (i.e. not hallucinatory).
