Why is there no ear wax in one ear and it is really loud in that ear?

It sounds like you might not have a problem with that ear, but rather the other one. It could be that the ear without wax hears normally, while the other side may be muffled from compacted ear wax. If you have not had a professional look in your ears with an otoscope, you probably should.


Do speed of sound increases with increasing temperature in the ear?

Sound does travel slightly faster as air temperature increases and this applies when the sound enters the ear just as it does in any other air. Once the sound has passed the ear drum, air is no longer the medium in which the sound travels so air temperature no longer affects the speed of sound.


What part of the ear is sound produced by?

Could a person hear if one of the bones in the inner ear did not vibrate?

The person would not have lost their ability to detect sound (that is located in the inner ear). However, the ear mechanism would no longer work as it should and the person would not be able to hear properly as the sound would not be transmitted to the inner ear.
