8 Ways to Tell If You’re Clairaudient (You Might Be Surprised!)

Have you ever wondered how to tell if you are clairaudient? While clairvoyance – or “clear seeing” – is widely known, clairaudience, meaning “clear hearing,” is a lesser-known but equally powerful psychic ability. You might already be experiencing clairaudient signs without realizing it.

Here’s how to find out if you, or somebody close to you has the gift of clairaudience. 

How to Tell If You Are Clairaudient Through Vivid Dreams

Dreams form a large part of your life when you regularly have vivid dreams. 

Did you know though, that some people barely dream at all?

If you are somebody who has a very active dream life, then this is an indication that you are using your psychic senses.  Clairaudience in dreams will show through whispers and memorable phrases.  Sometimes you may notice a distinctive voice or remember a message in words. 

Pay attention to any dreams which stay with you after you are awake, they often contain guidance or a message.  Dreams which wake you up during a pinnacle point are particularly poignant and powerful.

Keeping a dream diary can improve your dream clairaudience.  The more we write down and connect to our dreams, the more we remember then.  A habit of noting down dreams every morning will increase your dream vividity. 

You can also ask your subconscious to help you to solve problems, or connect with people during your dreams.  Just have the question in your mind as you drift off to sleep and your dreams will start to comply. 

Writing your dreams down every morning will increase your vivid recall. It also helps you understand how to tell if you are clairaudient through night-time messages and whispers from your subconscious.

messages in music

I used to love waking up to a radio alarm in the morning, as often the alarm would start mid-song or sentence.  So often the first words I heard that day would be significant. 

You can set your phone alarm to the radio, via an app and it is a great way to practice your clairaudience. 

If you’re unsure how to tell if you are clairaudient, pay attention to music that suddenly stands out or lyrics that answer your questions. This is one of the clearest signs of psychic hearing.

Being more mindful about the voices around you also, can tune into your natural clairaudience gift.  A conversation on public transport, a song playing in a shop, or even a song popping into your mind.  These are all subtle ways that we tune into clairaudience.

If you ask a question of the Universe, pay special attention to music.  Answers often come to us in music and the more clairaudient we are, the more we can attract this.  Ear worms can be significant too.  Sometimes they’re just very catchy tunes that we have heard and are playing on repeat. 

Anything that ‘comes from nowhere’ though, is likely to be a psychic message linking to your clairaudient gift!

sudden idea impulses

Many people ask how to tell if you are clairaudient, and one of the most common signs is receiving sudden thoughts or inner voices that feel external or spontaneous.

Just as random song coming into your mind can have some meaning, so can your thoughts. 

A reliable way to discern intuition from thought is that intuition “feels like it comes from nowhere.” Whereas your thoughts work in sequences and link together. 

In the same way clairaudience will just pop into your mind.  It could be a word, a phrase, there may even be a voice in your head, or seemingly nearby.  A clairaudient experience can be a link to your higher self which is, in a sense, the overlord version of yourself.  The wise part of your soul which is always connected to universal truth.

Clairaudience can connect to spirit also.  You may sometimes hear the voice of somebody who is on the other side.  This doesn’t need to be scary, it just shows that connections and love are timeless. 

We are always connected and with the gift of clairaudience, we can channel the wisdom of those we miss the most. 

sudden idea impulses

We can connect to anybody with clairaudience.  You know when you suddenly think of somebody and then you receive a text from them?  That’s clairaudience.  You’ve ‘heard’ them thinking about you. 

In this case the experience is beyond words, but it’s still a tangible experience which creates a thought ~seemingly from nowhere.

If you are practised at using clairaudience you can intentionally “send thoughts” to other people as messages.  I have people I know that I can do this with, I’m so sure that it works, that I don’t mention it to them.  I just accept the frequency of clairaudient communication.

There is an exercise you can try if you want to practice:

Think of somebody you know that you want to connect to.  Close your eyes.  Now imagine you are them, imagine your hand is their hand, that your hair and facial features feels like theirs do.  Feel their clothes and how you perceive them touching your skin. 

Once you feel fully like the person you are emulating, ask yourself a few questions.  You’ll find that you naturally understand their thoughts, and in a way this is a form of clairaudient connection with another. 

Remember to do this in a respectful and loving way.  If you use this skill negatively then karma will return to you threefold.  However, if you do this with empathy and care, then this will enhance your connection and your clairaudience skill. 

Clairaudient Premonitions: How to Tell If You Are Clairaudient

Did you know that that peculiar feeling of déjà vu is sometimes clairaudience?  The feeling of having experienced something before can signify a deeper understanding. 

Clairaudience can help us to ‘tune in’ to what is about to happen.  Sometimes we may hear an echo of words that are about to be spoken.  This can give us a sense of already experiencing what is about to happen. 

There is also the clairaudience which is beyond words but is a deeper knowing.  This is similar to receiving information from somebody so subtly that we aren’t consciously aware. 

Time is only relative to life on earth, within our gravitational field.  Psychic phenomena exists outside of this and on a higher self-level, we are connected to everything. 

Connecting to the wisdom from our higher self is a form of clairaudience that can be used as a daily guide. 

Animal communication

Learning to use clairaudience without words is a great way to connect to animals. 

To communicate with animals in ‘their language’ visualise what you wish to convey to them.  For instance if I want to remove a flying insect from a room, I imagine them flying in the direction of the window and share that image with them. 

Talking is fine too but it helps to use visual images when you do so. 

Cats and dogs have learned to understand a good deal of our language and have an incredibly good sense of time.  Often cats and dogs will know what time their owners come home from work, sometimes even if it’s not the usual time.  This is our animals using clairaudience to understand where we are and what we are doing.

If you have a pet, it’s good to imagine reassuring them and connecting to them when you are apart.  Animals find it very easy to ‘hear’ our thoughts, as their minds aren’t already cluttered with words. 

Most animals love melodic and classical music also, so this can help to build trust and communication with animals. 

Animals are deeply attuned to non-verbal energy, and observing their reactions can help you tell if you are clairaudient, especially when they respond to your silent intentions.

Disconnection with your surroundings

One of the signs that you are tuning into clairaudience spontaneous, is feeling less connected to your surroundings.  To be psychically aware we need to be centred and able to ‘hear’ our inner voice. 

Spontaneous clairaudience can feel like you not present in your surroundings.  You may be in a room of voices, but your own awareness is so keen, you are oblivious to the sound.  Or you could be mid-conversation and suddenly be distracted by a thought which demands your full attention.

It’s okay to pay heed to this experiences.  Our higher selves always want to help us to make the best choices for our life paths.  By being open these moments of higher guidance we can enrich our lives. 

Sometimes the disconnection can happen because somebody close to us is thinking of talking about us.  It’s easy to feel this energy when you accept that it’s tangible, and it can help you to know when to reach out.

It’s good to try to stay on a good vibration also however. 

I can also feel when people are or have spoken about me behind my back.  Learning to accept this as ‘none of your business’ is healthy.  We cannot stop people projecting their expectations and judgements upon us. 

It is important to stay centred and trust the guidance from our higher selves and learn to listen only to love. 

Love is all that matters and the more we vibrate on this level, the more those who judge will drift out of our lives.
