Meaning of Clairaudient: 8 Sure Fire Signs You Have It

The meaning of clairaudient is “clear hearing”. Someone that is clairaudient can hear things that not everyone around them can hear.

When you are clairaudient, you are picking up on sounds from different realms. The sounds may come from your spirit guides, angels, your higher self, earthbound spirits, source, or off-world interdimensional beings.

What Is Clairaudience?

Clairaudience means “clear hearing” and is one of the 7 ‘clair’ abilities. This ability is connected to your ear and throat chakra. If you have a really strong throat chakra messages can come through as sounds, just as if you are hearing them.

Clairaudience means that you can hear things that aren’t physically there in your 3D reality. You may hear something out loud, or the voice or sound may come through your imagination. Both ways are valid and are connected to your psychic senses.

Most people experience clairaudience as an inner voice inside their heads. This is why it can be hard at first to determine if it is your own voice or someone else’s. You may be clairaudient without even realizing that you are!

How Do You know If You Are Clairaudient?

1. You Hear Things That No One Else Does

One of the meanings of being clairaudient is that you hear things that other people don’t. You may be with a  group of people, and you are the only one who hears it.

This is because you are picking up on sounds from a different realm that other people aren’t tuned into.

Think of it like a frequency on a radio. You can switch the station to whatever you want, and you just happen to be on a different station than other people. You are tuned into a higher frequency because it’s where you have your dial set. Anyone can tune into the same frequency as you if they practice developing their clairaudience.

2. You Hear Things in Your Imagination

Your spiritual team can speak to you through your inner voice or imagination. This may even sound like you and be difficult to determine who is actually saying it. Your higher self has been speaking to you your whole life as well as your guides so they will feel very natural to you, and they will feel like you.

In order to determine who the message is coming from, you have to look at the subtle things that are happening.

Is a message coming through that is different than anything you’ve thought of before?

Does it feel extremely loving?

Does it feel confident, yet not pushy?

If so, these messages can be from your higher self or spirit guides.

Of course, you can also receive messages from your own conscious mind which is much more limiting and not as expansive as your higher self.

You can also get messages from lower beings which feel the opposite of higher dimensional messages. These will feel pushy, fearful, and just generally not feel good. These messages are more likely to come through if your energy is low and you are hanging out in lower vibrations.

3. You Have a Strong Sense of Hearing 

Another sign that you have clairaudience is that you have a very strong sense of hearing. You can hear when people speak low, and loud sounds may be too loud for you. Your hearing may be so heightened that loud sounds really bother you.

4. You Enjoy Beautiful Sounds and Music

If you enjoy beautiful music or sounds that carry a high frequency and that evokes a lot of emotion within you may be clairaudient. You can pick up on the subtle notes in the music and it may touch you very deeply into the core of your being. So, if you find yourself drawn to beautiful sounds, it may be helping you to strengthen your clairaudience.

5. You Are Clairaudient If You Get Woken Up at Night by Sounds 

If you are clairaudient, you may find that you get woken up by sounds that aren’t in your 3D reality. These sounds can be anything such as someone saying your name (when no one you can see is saying it unless you can see spirits), hearing a doorbell (when no one is there), hearing a baby cry (with no baby in the house), hearing an animal or anything else that is not physically in your 3D reality.

When this happens, you are picking up on sounds from another dimension. Or you may be tuning into sounds in this dimension that aren’t in your current physical reality. It may also be spirit alerting you to something.

For example, if you get woken up by a doorbell, it could be spirit doing that for a reason. Maybe they want you to remember the dream you were just having. Or they could be alerting you to anything that is going on at that time.

As another example, if you hear a baby cry, maybe you are picking up on your sister’s new baby crying at that moment, or maybe it’s your future baby, or maybe it’s a message from you when you were young.

There are countless messages, and you have to tune into your own intuition to receive the message. The first thought you get is usually right as this is your intuition speaking to you.

If you hear your name being called in the middle of the night, it may be someone trying to get your attention or just stopping by to say hi. Spirit can come through easier at night because that is when you are more open and relaxed.

6. You Are Drawn to Sound Healing

Another meaning of clairaudient is that you are drawn to sound healing. You may enjoy this form of healing. This is because you are very connected to sound whether you realize it or not.

While there are many natural healing modalities, you choose ones that are connected to sound. If sound healing works great for you and you enjoy it as part of your spiritual practice, it is because you are clairaudient, and this type of healing is one that resonates with you.

7. Clairaudience Come Through in How You Speak

Another way to know if you have clairaudience is how you speak. If you say things such as, “I hear what you are saying” or “hear me out” then you have clairaudience.

You use the word “hear” to describe things in your reality. Notice how you describe things to see if you use the word “hear” when you speak.

8. You Get Songs Stuck in Your Head

If you are one of those people that always has a song stuck in your head, you may have clairaudience.

You may have a song that you just listened to or a song you haven’t heard in a while in your head. If it’s a song that you haven’t heard in a while but it just ‘popped into your head’, then it may be a message for you.

Notice the lyrics of the song to get the messages from it. It may be coming from your spirit guides as guidance, or even a deceased loved one to let you know they are here with you. 

Note: You don’t have to have all the above to be clairaudient. You might have a couple of them and still have a really strong clairaudience ability.

How to Strengthen Your Clairaudience

• Journal About Your Clairaudient Experiences

You can strengthen your clairaudience by first of all noticing when it happens and then keeping a journal of your experiences.

Be sure to record when you hear things, what you hear, and also what you were doing while you heard this. Then check your journal regularly for patterns.

For example, you may notice that you always receive clairaudient information when you are walking outside. You may be more connected and therefore pick up on it more easily then. Pay attention to all the patterns you notice as that will help you move forward.

• Strengthen and Clear Your Ear and Throat Chakra

The next thing you can do to strengthen your psychic ability of clairaudience is to work on your ear and throat chakra. Take time every day to clear and balance your ear and throat chakra.

You can imagine energy going into these chakras and cleansing them. Imagine that they are open and clear and ready to receive information.

When strengthening a chakra, adding that color into your life will help to balance it. So, wear the color blue, look at the blue sky, focus on looking at a blue picture, or paint your nails blue to help balance out this chakra.

• Listen Carefully to Sound

Another way to strengthen your clairaudience is to listen carefully to the sounds in your environment. Really tune into and focus on the sound. You may hear things that you didn’t hear before. This will help to expand your ear chakras to increase the range and frequency of the sounds around you.

• Practice Hearing New Sounds

Another great way to develop your clairaudience is to practice hearing new sounds. These sounds can be new sounds or sounds that you don’t hear too often.

When you listen to new sounds, it helps to open up your ear chakras even more because the tone is different than anything you’ve heard before.

Final Thoughts – Meaning of Clairaudient “Clear Hearing” Psychic Ability

The meaning of clairaudient can be unique for everyone. One person may hear their spirit guides talking while someone else may hear angelic music. One person may hear voices outside their head, while another inside their head. Any way you hear information is valid.

Your clairaudience ability will grow over time, especially if you practice using the techniques in this article.

I highly recommend keeping a journal of all your clairaudient experiences as something to look back on and understand patterns connected to this ability. This will help you a lot with understanding how you receive information, why, and when.
