Description

Have you ever cringed at the sound of your own voice on a recording? You’re not alone — and there’s real science behind that discomfort. In this episode of Earvangelism, we explore why your voice sounds so different when played back, and what it reveals about how your hearing actually works.

From the physics of bone conduction to the quirks of recording technology, we’ll unpack how microphones, skull vibrations, and brain expectations all shape the voice you think you have. And we’ll ask a deeper question: why does hearing ourselves from the outside feel so strangely personal?
