I hear strange voices

I am a 65 -year old pensioner. I have been hearing strange voices for the past two months. Initially, the voices were of very low sound but have become louder in the last few days. Kindly let me know what I should do about this.

Hearing of strange voices (Auditory hallucination) happen when you hear voices or noises that don’t exist in reality. In some cases, they’re temporary and harmless, while in others, they may be a sign of a more serious mental health or neurological condition. Auditory hallucinations have many possible causes. Auditory hallucinations are often associated with schizophrenia and other mental health conditions, but they can happen for several other reasons, such as hearing loss. Some people experience auditory hallucinations that specifically take place as they’re falling asleep. These types of hallucinations are common and usually not a cause for concern. It’s a good idea for all cases of Auditory Hallucinations to be properly investigated by competent medical hands.
