What is Exploding Head Syndrome: Auditory Hallucinations
Exploding Head Syndrome primarily manifests through auditory hallucinations that occur as individuals transition from wakefulness to sleep or during the early stages of sleep. These hallucinations often involve loud and sudden noises that mimic explosions, crashes, or bangs. It is important to note that these noises are purely subjective and not actual external sounds. Some individuals may also experience flashes of light accompanying the auditory hallucinations, further intensifying the sensation of a sudden and dramatic event. While the exact cause of these hallucinations remains unknown, researchers speculate that they may be a result of the brain’s misinterpretation of normal neural signals.
