Could you explain hwhat does the chanting sound like? Is it in your own voice or someone else's voice? Is it like a song that keeps playing in one's head all day long or something else?

my daughter has this problem. her doctors call it psychosis mixed with OCD. when the doctors and psychiatrists make changes to her meds it goes away.

they did assess my daughter for dissociative disorders to see if the problem was related to any dissociative disorders but the key factor for my daughter was that it didnt stay with her all the time any time she encountered a trigger and the problem had no specific trigger to make it happen like DID alters have accompanying symptoms.

because her voices and chanting did not fit the kind that come with dissociative disorders they went on the belief that it was medication induced psychosis, or other psychosis disorders mixed with her OCD. Chanting / rhyming/ singing or saying the same word over and over again is one of her OCD problems.

Perhaps it's your way of calming anxiety? I sometimes say rhymes or chant in my head when I'm very stressed.
I'd say no one here can give you a diagnosis as we have very little info.

I hope you'll find an explanation for it and learn to manage it if it keeps causing distress.
If you realise it's a coping mechanism it's OK. People have used chants as stress relief for thousands of years.

I am not quick to make assumptions here as the problem could be physical. It might simply be your hearing the vibration of your heart beat via your inner ear. This happened frequently to me as a child when I had a great deal of ear/nose/throat problems. When they were at their worst I would hear what I could only describe as a child as marching. But come to think of it, looking back on it now, I would say it in fact sounded like chanting.

Try taking your pulse and see if it matches the rythym of the 'chanting' you are hearing.

Do you have ear/nose/throat issues? Do your ears plug up? Do you often get sore throats? Do you have sinus or nasal issues?

It might be wise to eliminate then a physical source for this experience.

Have you talked to your doctor about this, Dnester? Maybe that could help. I don't think it's anything major, but since you've had it for a long time maybe it would be wise to check it out and see what it may be. Wish you good luck! Let us know how it goes. Sending many hugs to you

It was just a thought. Having ironed that out now then I guess we move onto other sources. I am sure you are not alone though. The questions I have are about the sound itself. Are there distinguishable words? Are their multiple voices in unison? Does the sound stay at a single monotonous chant or does it go up and down changing its inflection? Does the intensity directly vary with your mood and anxiety?

It stays a a continuous low tone. There are no voices. It just kind of sounds like humming but its chant like. There are no words. Its kind of anxiety producing because its unusual.

continuous tones are called tinnitus. An inner ear problem that can sometimes be perceived as inside ones head.

my suggestion is contact your medical doctor who can check to see if you have any ear infections or other ear problems and can refer you to an ENT (ear nose throat doctor) and an audiologist (ear doctor that does tests to find out if you have a hearing problem or if there are other ear problems)

dehydration/ not getting enough fluids can also cause this in me. your medical doctor can do a blood test to see if you are getting enough fluids and other nutrients to prevent this also.

Besides that, what kind feeling the chanting itself, brings to you. I would consider it not normal if you did not experience something like this from time to time, be it a tune or a chant.

It's probably physical or neurological caused by stress. I agree with Amanda it's probably something in your ears. I hear a sound resembling a sound of boiling water from time to time. It's from frequent ear infections as a child. I'm used to it and I don't even think about it. It can also be from high blood pressure caused by stress. Or an echo of your own heart which gets worse in stress. Since you've had it for such a long time it probably isn't serious but you can contact your ENT or neurologist to check it out.

The chant mirrors the feelings are are experiencing around the problem, and that is perfectly normal.
