do you ever wonder why you hate the
sound of your own voice especially if
it's been recorded and played back to
you well there's actually a really
interesting reason for this so when you
hear other people's voices you're
hearing it through something called air
conduction so the sound waves are coming
through the air down your ear canal get
Amplified by some small bones and then
end up here in the fluid-filled cochlea
where there's a ton of little hairs that
send nerve signals to your brain which
you interpret as sound but the
difference is when you hear your own
voice you're also hearing it through
something called bone conduction so your
vocal cords and your bones literally
vibrate including your skull where your
ear is and as a result because bones
tend to transfer lower frequencies
people tend to hear their own voice as
slightly lower than other people hear it
now the problem arises when you hear
your voice play back to you there's no
longer any bone conduction it's just air
conduction and as a result it sounds
slightly different to you which makes it
feel really weird and most of the time
very cringy
