I've long wondered why some people who hear voices are diagnosed with mental illness while others aren't.

Here's an article on Psychology Today that discusses the topic:
When Hearing Voices Is Not a Symptom of Mental Illness | Psychology Today

"Studies performed at Murray State University and in the Netherlands found many people who hear voices are not mentally ill."

Both auditory hallucinations and "inner voices" are discussed.
