It can be a way of describing the medical usage in "lay" terms, but it is
also a more general application that can be applied to any situation
where the mind can influence the body's perception (the way something
"sounds" or "tastes" or "feels" etc.)
Insofar as people "hear" things not because of the audible sound waves
produced but because they expect or want to hear those things, the term
"psychosomatic" does apply to audio...
