Why can my wife not whisper?

Question

Why can my wife not whisper? What is it that allows you to whisper?
Angus, Haslemere

Answer

Name: Susannah, Surbiton
Qualification: Watch lots of medical documentaries
Answer: She’s got a strong sense of hearing, so when she thinks she is whispering, she’s not, as she can always hear the echoing of her voice. She will always hear the vibration in her ears.
(James O’Brien: There’s no way I believe this.)
