There's not much meaningful I can say about this, except to quote Neil deGrasse Tyson:

"It makes me want to grab people in the streets and say, 'have you heard this?!'"

Excerpt:

The researchers had subjects listen to spoken syllables while hooked up to a device that would simultaneously blow a tiny puff of air onto the skin of their hand or neck. The syllables included "pa" and "ta," which produce a brief puff from the mouth when spoken, and "da" and "ba," which do not produce puffs. They found that when listeners heard "da" or "ba" while a puff of air was blown onto their skin, they perceived the sound as "ta" or "pa."

Cool stuff.
