It seems like you can ‘hear’ your thoughts, but they’re purely conceptual – which means they spontaneously occur in your brain without having to be processed by your sensory organs (eyes/ears/mouth etc.)

The everyday information from the world around us is processed by our brains through our eyes and ears, but with thoughts they can bypass this as they occur directly in the brain where they are are instantly processed.
