Why Do People Hate the Sound of Their Own Voices?
Its our common experience that we hate to hear our own voices when we listen it through recordings or any other similar sources...Do you like the sound of your own voice? Well if you say you like to, I can't help it, maybe you are unique! So, lets explore the reason for it!
Three little bones called ossicles, located in the middle ear, are responsible for differentiating between what your voice sound like and how others hear you.The eardrum vibrates against these bones, which transmit the vibrations to the cochlea, a spiral-shaped structure within the inner ear which converts vibrational energy (noise) from the outside world into electrical energy, which is how your brain cells communicate with each other.
Altering information outside your body into something your brain cells can "talk about" is called transduction, and it's responsible for generating what people call a "sound. From here on, processing is the process left to take place!
Processing sound information via the vibration of those three bones is called bone conduction, whereas via vibration of the air outside your ear is called air conduction.
When even you speak, your brain compounds both bone and air conduction to make sense of the sound. Complexity reduced for you all?
Your ossicles vibrate a little bit whenever you encounter an acoustic stimulus, but your own voice will always sound loud (because of how close your mouth is to your ears), so the ossicles vibrate more when you talk.
This ends up muddling the sound, causing you to incorrectly perceive your voice as having a lower pitch. For this reason, you may find that a recording of your voice sounds much higher to you than what you're used to hearing when you speak.
This huge change in the way of listening makes us make real-time modifications to preserve the integrity of own voices, subconsciously we change the way we talk, to counteract the adjustments. This fundamental understanding of what we think their voice sounds like is why we don't like to listen to our own voices, because after all we hear ourselves sounding so different.
So next time you are conversing with someone just be the way you are, "Be yourself"!!!
Any ideas and suggestions will be appreciated!
