Hears vs start hearing

Every time you talk, people start hearing their voices in their heads.

Every time you talk, people start hears their voices in their heads.


Is there a significant difference in meaning between the two? I feel like there might be a little difference, but I am not sure what that difference is to be honest, "hearing implies it's happening during an interval of time", but it's not like "hears" mean it's happening in a few seconds either.
