This exhibit delays your words so that you hear yourself talking a fraction of a second after you've spoken instead of while you are speaking. One or two people can talk into microphones and hear themselves in headphones. The playback of their voices is delayed up to 1/5 of a second (variable). This delay makes it almost impossible for some people to speak intelligibly, since the normal mouth-to-ear feed back mechanism has been tampered with.
