Regarding hearing voices in DID or DDNOS, from what I've been taught, hearing voices inside the head is characteristic of the above. If voices are heard outside the head, that is more characteristic of a psychotic symptom. Also, being able to communicate in some way with the internal voices, as in a dialog...asking questions and getting a reponse is more characteristic of dissociative experiences. In auditory hallucinations in psychosis, the sounds or voices are experienced as if they are external, and they can be bizarre. They are usually not able to dialog with them.
Hope this helps,
