We report two cases of patients with schizoaffective disorder with treatment-refractory auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) who were successfully treated with sound therapy, which is effective to treat tinnitus. AVHs in both patients were alleviated within about one month, and no recurrence was reported for 31 and 17 months after the sound therapy together with medication. Further studies may confirm the therapeutic value of sound therapy in patients with intractable AVHs.
我们报告了两例患有精神分裂症性障碍且伴有难治性幻听的患者，他们通过对治疗耳鸣有效的声音疗法成功得到了治疗。两名患者的幻听在约一个月内得到缓解，在声音疗法结合药物治疗后，分别在31个月和17个月内未再复发。进一步的研究可能会证实声音疗法对患有顽固性幻听患者的治疗价值。
