<bot>: Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. I understand that you must be quite concerned by the persistent auditory hallucinations which your mother is experiencing. Now, auditory hallucinations is a psychotic symptom which is seen in Schizophrenia. So, the treatment of auditory hallucinations would be with the same medication used for treating Schizophrenia - namely anti-psychotic medication. If she is already on anti-psychotic medication and the auditory hallucinations are persisting, then the dose of medication may need to be increased in order to control the symptoms. Wish you all the best.
