It depends. If I can control when I hear these things, then no. If
they come to me unbidden at inconvenient times and make it difficult for
me to eat a meal or void my bowels without feeling sheer terror, then
definitely yes. It's a matter of having control of one's own life,
being able to do everyday things such as keep friends and hold on to a
job, and being occasionally happy and mostly content rather than unhappy
all the time.
