Only once, in college, was it so loud and lasted so long that I went to the hospital.The hospital sent me home with a sleeping aid.
This has been going on since I was very young. When I was school age, I would think there were people visiting and get out of bed only to find no visitors and my family in bed.
Result of anxiety meds or unmedicated anxiety?

My MIL started seeing people that weren't there when they tried tried (or increased the dosage of, I can't remember which) a medication for her Parkinson's. She stopped taking it, and her hallucinations disappeared. She had to go on something else.

Ambien. Tried it twice, both times H told me I was not asleep, but up and walking around and talking and describing all sorts of crazy things. The walls rippling like curtains, ceiling fans turning into snakes, angel wings on my back, etc. crazy stuff. I don’t remember anything. I could’ve been bound and ravaged by a hundred men with no recollection of it at all.

A type of hearing disorder can cause auditory hallucinations. I think it's usually phantom music that people with this condition hear. It's called Musical Ear Syndrome (MES).
I actually have this. I can hear music when it's quiet. I just figured that it was from hearing a different frequency. Kind of like dogs do.

Sometimes I think my dental fillings are picking up radio signals. I heard garbled music or talking at night.

If I drink anything my memory cuts out almost immediately, and especially if I have vivid dreams I have had to check my phone to make sure I did not actually speak with someone IRL
And sometimes I mishear things on TV and think they're in real life, like there's a dog outside or someone's knocking at my door. Then I look outside and ... nothing
Age 60s

Not me, but schizophrenia runs in my xH's family and he has several family members with it. We have a DD together, so I've read extensively and constantly watch out for signs.

I did when I was extremely sleep deprived for months with my first. It was more like I'd dream that he was crawling on my bed and about to fall off. This was way before he could crawl. It was awful. I've seen a ghost, but I wouldn't call that a hallucination. If you are hearing voices, you should probably see a psychiatrist.

Hallucinating means experiencing sensory experiences that seem real but are created by your mind, such as seeing figures that aren't there or hearing voices. Have you experienced this? Or seen someone around you? What happened?
Not AI hallucinations.
