Susurraphilia : Are there other people out there who have this wonderful condition?

Question

"What is 'Susurraphilia'?" you may ask...well, a couple of years ago I came to realise that I took increasing delight in hearing the sound of whispering in all its forms, be it my girlfriend whispering in my ear through to DVDs with actors doing soft-spoken voiceovers etc.

I had a search through the internet to see if this phenomenon was documented, but when I found it was not, I decided to coin the term 'Susurraphilia' (literally 'the attraction or affinity to whispering') to describe it.

I don't call it as an illness or disease as such, because it brings me nothing but happiness to experience it and has no downside to it. It is also not an obsessive compulsion, however, as it does not dictate my natural behaviour, but is rather just a wonderful condition to have. Susurraphilia does not have any particular sexual undercurrents to it, although it can do in, for example, situations where a sexual partner is whispering to turn you on.

Are there other susurraphiles out there? :)

Edit : I never mentioned that I "hear" voices or anything like that, so I wouldn't imagine it's anything to do with a chemical imbalance :)

Answer 1

I dont feel this is a diease but fluid imbalance on the brain which is somtimes caused by an allergic reaction of chemicals which is sometimes healed by a low amount of acid. In the mystical world you could be channelling things from another plane in which we do not see called portals and in the phycatrist world you have what is called an auditory hallusinations whic are abnormal. I suggest and alergy doctor first and then test for worms which can also cause this auditory whispering and smoking ciggerettes
