Good Question: Wish i had a real good answer. It is part of the illness. They have hallucinations . In this case vocal ones , they hear voices instead of seeing things. Others have visual hallucinations, or even taste or smell hallucinations.

Schizophrenia: One explanation is the Dopamine hypothesis which refers to disturbed & hyperactive dopaminergic signal transduction in the brain, leading to excess dopamine. Another theory is genetic mutations. Another theory is structural changes in grey matter density in frontal & temporal regions of the brain.
