Why do we hear ourselves differently to how our voices actually sound?

Asked by Fernspider (3597points) August 20th, 2009

Do you cringe when you hear a recording of yourself played back? I do and often say “Do I really sound like that” to which the response is “Yes”.

What I don’t understand is, why do we sound different to ourselves when we speak?

EDIT: Oops, I have just realised that this question has already been asked. How do I delete it!? LOL
