Holymama,
Personally, I think that you would know if you indeed had heard voices.
Dissociatives hear them "inside" their heads. It can be static, music, noises, voices (male, female, child, or adult). Dissociatives also have auditory flashbacks. In other words, they will have a flashback of hearing anything from their past. As a child, I used to hear my name called when no one was there. That too was a flashback.
Schziophrenics hear the voices or noises "outside" their heads. An example: A person may think the person on the tv is talking directly to them.
I started writing down what the voices say. The other day I heard, "I WAS ROBBED." Then, I had dreams about my wallet being stolen with my identification. In another dream, I had my wedding ring guard stolen. With me, I believe the voices are trying to tell me something that I have not consciously accepted or realized.
Medications can have an influence on hearing things too. Some can make things quiet and some can make your mind a noise box.
