sidetone
Voice in earpiece
Sidetone is the sound of your own voice fed back through a telephone or headset while you speak.
Without it, callers tend to shout, uncertain their voice is transmitting.
The feature reassures speakers that the connection is working: The sidetone on this headset is too loud—I can barely hear the other person.
