Abstract:

Auditory hallucinations may present as a part of the diagnostic symptom profile in hearing impaired with schizophrenia and respond to antipsychotics. Though partial response is observed with inadequate dose of antipsychotics, there is no report that auditory hallucinations respond differently in a patient with a healthy and impaired ear. In this case report, we are reporting differential effect of antipsychotics on auditory hallucinations in a unilateral hearing impaired patient with schizophrenia. Possible underlying neurobiological mechanisms are discussed.

Keywords:
