Clairaudient definition: Clairaudients are those with the ability to hear those in Spirit, speaking to you externally or internally.

Clairaudience is the intuitive ability of clear hearing and tends to be related to those who can hear telepathically other's thoughts or information from Spirit Guides.

Clairaudient ability can begin to open up at any time in your life, from birth until death.

If you're clairaudient, you can hear Spirit speak to you in your environment or within your mind. Many clairaudients are already using their abilities without even knowing it.

When clairaudient abilities are beginning to open up, you may notice ringing in your ears, changes of pressure in your ears, such as popping or buzzing noises, or you may start to hear voices.

Clairaudient mediums can learn to manage the noise.

Spirit voices tend not to be constant, but instead, are briefer and to the point. Spirit voices also tend to engage in a genuine dialogue with you, answering questions that you have, and providing feedback when you focus. Many people with clairaudience find it helpful. 

Clairaudience can begin to manifest in a variety of ways, so below there are a few signs you may have this ability - 

9 Signs You're Clairaudient

#9. You tend to talk to yourself

You frequently troubleshoot, think of replies you would give to specific scenarios, calm yourself down, and talk to yourself after a stressful event.

If the solutions and replies you are getting are calming, clear-headed, and thoughtful, this is a sign that the other participant in the conversation is Spirit, and you hear them clairaudiently.

You may need to set a focused time to do this, and if you are getting mixed messages, go to the forest. 

Personal thoughts can also be transmitted telepathically, so if you are around people, step away, clear your head and see if the messages still come through to verify it's from Spirit and not merely the absorbing of human thoughts around you. 

#8. You give profound advice

If you give great advice, yet afterward, you have no idea how that beautiful speech just came out of your mouth - this is a sign that Spirit gave you the words. 

Spirit can speak through you, as you speak aloud what it is they say. Same thing if it's written, this is called being a channel or a message medium. 

#7. You're already a professional comforter

Your livelihood and profession are to give calming, centered advice.

Therapists, counselors, nurses, coaches are often clairaudient—anything where the leading role of your life is involved with calming advice, suggestions, and guidance. 

Spirit Guides and Angels can support words from your Higher Self. 

This is why sometimes the advice can seem so perfectly tailored to what that person needed at that moment - even if you don't know why you said it. 

#6. You hear ringing or buzzing in your ears

It tends to come on very quickly and dissipate after a few minutes or seconds. This is often a signal that Spirit wants your attention or is giving you valuable information. 

Being guided with ringing in the ear is one of the main signs your Spirit Guides are connecting with you.

#5. You've heard disembodied whispering, noises, talking, radio

These are often Spirit generated speech, especially if there is no known natural source of the speaking. It can be a sign you're near a portal where the energy comes through. 

Ask those in Spirit around you to either speak up to tell you what they want or quiet down. You can also cleanse the space in your area, and this will sometimes clear the energy. 

#4. You hear knocking, footsteps, creaking noises

A sign that you can hear the movement of Spirit around you. 

After ruling out physical sources, footsteps and knocking in older homes is a common sign of spirit activity. In the 1800s, it was one of the first known signs of a Spirit's presence. 

#3. You hear someone say your name, but they didn't

If you've ever been in the same room with someone and thought they said something, but when asked, they say, "No, I didn't say anything." 

If this is happening to you a lot, it can be a sign you may be hearing Spirit.

When you clear earthbound spirit energy in the area, know it tends to go away. I discuss this technique more in this post on transitioning Spirits.

#2. Sudden inspiration or ideas just come to you

Often in full detail - while you're driving, showering, or doing otherwise mundane tasks. Clairaudient guidance can be a single word or a short phrase. 

These mundane tasks are quiet, meditative times for Spirit, and the perfect time for those who support you in the astral plane, to give you ideas and solutions to your problems.

When you wonder internally, "I'm not sure how to solve this issue." Then, later on, the perfect words have come into your mind out of nowhere - it was likely those Spirit Guides of yours helping you. 

#1. You hear messages that sound like they were delivered just for you

Just as messages can fly out of you, messages can come to you. On the radio, on television, or with spoken word, clairaudients often catch messages delivered from your Guides and Angels through another human vehicle.

Spirit can make the world around you just a bit quieter and help you hone in your focus to deliver a message just for you. If this focused hearing happens a lot, it's a sign Spirit is trying to speak to you. It feels like all the air quiets around you, and you are zoning in on only those words.

To recap, nine signs of clairaudient abilities are

Clairaudience is the gift that comes to us as the inner voice.

Notice five or more of these? You may be clairaudient.

The clearer, more confident, and calm you are in your energy field, the easier it is to listen to it and accept it. Another way you can identify if clairaudience is your most active intuitive sense is if your primary learning method is through listening.
