Can you hear people when you're in a coma?

Question

I've always wondered, for you always see it in movies.

Answer 1

I'm sure you could hear but not necessarily understand it at the time. When a person is unconscious, they can hear things around them still...that's why people wake up when an alarm clock goes off.

Answer 2

people in comas show increased brain activity when given aural (sound) stimulation.  even though they don't move, they can hear.

Answer 3

no u cant thats a dum ? who doesnt know the anwser to that question

Answer 4

Coma are the results of brain trauma, I doubt it if your brain could still comprehend.

Answer 5

When I was in a coma I recall being vaguely aware of some things going on around me. I heard a lot but I couldn't react to it at all.

Answer 6

I was in a coma for three days,while I was in my comatose state, I don't think I could acknowledge/register what I was hearing, but when I came out of a coma, I remember certain things that were said around me.

Answer 7

yes.

it depends on what type of coma

but most comas are just hyperactive paralyzed state of the body.
