Inaudible Vocalitis


I’ve begun hearing a voice. It’s that of my own. It’s either that I’m hearing voices or that I’ve developed a rare, yet annoying, disorder known as Inaudible Vocalitis. The symptoms of such a disorder are that, while you can hear your own voice and believe fully well that you are speaking audibly, no one around you seems to hear or acknowledge your vocal efforts. Not even the dog.

As rare and unheard of as this disorder may be, I believe I have contracted it. I mean what other explanation is there for the fact that I have to repeat myself incessantly for the kids to move into action? Not to mention our previously well-trained dog has begun ignoring my commands. Instead of lying down when asked, he looks at me as if to say, “Really? You don’t mean it, right? I’ll just stand here and see how serious you really are.”

And so, I’m sure you’re wondering what the cure for IV is. Well, I’ve done quite a bit of Internet research. It appears that the only cure is a long vacation in a beach locale with only a good book and myself. Husband welcome, as long as audible recognition is a go.

  1. I think I have this rare condition too! Maybe I contracted it from you on Saturday? Though, I am pretty sure I had symptoms before that...
