Bruce himself never believed it, and Terry eventually uncovered the secret - an oversized bandage that concealed a "[[TechnologyMarchesOn tiny]]" two-way radio only Bruce could hear. After Shriek is defeated, they have an interesting conversation:

* AndIMustScream: In order to stop Shriek, Batman has to damage his sound weapon. This causes Shriek's weapon to backfire on him and he starts hearing the sounds of the city all at once. In the end, he winds up going deaf, much to his horror.

Sound designer Walter Shreeve wants Derek Powers to buy his technology, but Powers isn't interested in any of the potential uses he suggests. But he does have one thing Shreeve can do for him... assassinate Bruce Wayne, who's blocking his plan to buy out and bulldoze Gotham's historical district. Shreeve is desperate for the cash, and agrees.

Derek Powers hires sound designer Walter Shreeve to kill Bruce Wayne.
to:
He first attempts to kill Bruce in the theater where Bruce Wayne's parents died fails because ([[BruceWayneHeldHostage shockingly enough]]) Batman intervenes, though Bruce is injured. Terry nabs one of Shreeve's devices and analyzes it back in the Batcave, while Bruce starts hearing voices. Terry is able to track the device back to Shreeve, and gets in by posing as a pizza guy, though he soon raises Shreeve's suspicions by being too interested in the tech and has to escape. In the process, Shreeve is outed to the police as the guy who attacked Bruce Wayne. Powers then suggests that Shreeve take up being a supervillain full-time, offering the code name 'Shriek'.
Back at the hospital, Terry breaks Bruce out of the psych ward, where it's revealed that the "voices" were actually a miniature (ish) radio. Bruce knew all along the voices were fake (he doesn't call himself "Bruce" in his head), but he wasn't able to crack the case before Powers had him railroaded into a padded cell.
On their way out, they're ambushed by Shriek, who fights Batman. His sonic weapons prove quite effective at tracking footsteps and in causing general mayhem, but in the end all it takes is a well-placed batarang to cause all his tech to malfunction, which results in him being overwhelmed by sound and going deaf.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Bruce Wayne refuses to allow a section of Gotham City, which included the theater he'd gone to the night his parents were murdered, to be demolished. Terry [=McGinnis=] asks him why he wouldn't want it torn down, so that the painful memories would end, only to fall silent when Bruce asks "Do you want to forget what happened to ''your'' father?".

* DeliveryGuyInfiltration: Terry pretends to be a pizza delivery boy in order to infiltrate Shreeve's laboratory. Shreeve is suspicious, but he lets him in. To be fair, Shreeve's initial suspicion is the classic "I didn't order any pizza." Terry manages to get around this by claiming it must have been a prank and his boss would have a fit when he brings it back. The letting him in is sympathy on Shreeve's part (Shreeve isn't a bad guy, just desperate for money for his funding). The suspicion came when Terry asked too many questions about the tech.
