beneficial as an assessment tool,the AHIG can be used to guide interventions. When clinicians gather information from voice hearers,questions may trigger insight about their experiences that may not be readily apparent. For example, one AHIG question pertains to a time when voices stopped. Some voice hearers who were United States military Veterers shared that their voices discontinued during basic training and restarted afterward. this change was attributed to intensive physical and mental engagement,as well as highly structured schedules. A number of similar questions in the AHIG explore the change and characteristics of AH throughout the day and across the lifespan. these questions demonstrate that AH symptoms are not categorically static as voice hearers often report. The intensity, for example, can fluctuate depending on the time of day, level of life engagement, presence of triggers, and general level of stress.
