If my memory serves correctly, this is the thing that basically plays everything you say back to you with a 200ms delay that instantly makes you feel awkward.

Oh god. If I hear myself through people's speakers when on a call I cannot continue. It's super effective at making me confused and distracted. That's awful.

If you've ever worked in a call center, this kind of thing happens from time to time. After a couple times you learn to ignore it and push through.

Whenever I run into that problem I just pull the earpiece away from my ear when I’m talking. I can still kind of hear it, but it’s much easier to ignore.

I remember seeing this effect on QI. They tried it on Alan first and he just powered through and managed to keep talking!

Alan is a very special individual, though.
