You're still hearing a difference? You're probably listening it wrong, then. Or not really wrong, but when you whisper a few English sounds and words are actually indistinguishable, but that doesn't cause communication problems because your brain sorts things out by what it expects to hear. So you hear differences between words when there actually aren't any because you know they're not the same word.
OR, there's additional pronunciation differences I don't know about, or you pronounce the words differently than I do due to regional differences, or THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS TO CONSIDER I don't even know.
Edit: Actually, I think everything I just said was wrong and one of them is pronounced with a falling tone and the other one isn't. THIS IS BEGINNING TO IRRITATE ME.
