Nope - there is no direct pathway from the ear to the nose.

It is possible for a bug to fly up your nose, but it is highly unlikely for the bug to navigate from your nose and end up in your ear canal. The human anatomy and protective mechanisms such as nose hairs and the Eustachian tube make it difficult for insects to travel from the nose to the ear. If you have concerns, it is always best to consult a healthcare professional.

Is the ear canal the same as the eardrum?
the ear canal is literally the hole in the side of your head, leading to the eardrum. the eardrum is the membrane ( tympanic membrane) at he end of the ear canal.
Does the ear canal end at a tightly stretched membrain called the cochlea?
The ear canal actually ends at the eardrum. This is the tightly stretched membrane, also known as the "tympanic membrane". The cochlea is located in the inner ear and is a cavity filled with fluid.
How deep is the ear canal?
The outer ear flap 'pinnae' surrounds each hole in the side of the skull and leads into the ear canal. This irregular cylinder averaging 6mm diameter and approx 25mm long narrows slightly, then widens towards its inner end, which is sealed off by the ear-drum.
Trace the path of sound waves as they enter the ear Start with the outer ear?
Sound waves first enter the outer ear, which consists of the pinna (visible portion) and the ear canal. The pinna helps collect sound waves and directs them into the ear canal. The sound waves then travel through the ear canal and reach the eardrum (tympanic membrane) at the end of the canal.
What are the names definitions and functions of the parts of the ear?
Outer earIt consists of Pinna, ear canal and ear drum. Pinna (also called auricle): It is outer most (and visible) portion of ear. Its external parts are wide while inner portion is narrow. Because of its shape it act as a funnel (collects the sound and directs it through ear canal to ear drum).Ear canal (auditory canal): It contains sebaceous glands which secrete ear wax (cerumen) for lubrication of ear.Ear drum (tympanic membrane): It is thin membrane located at the end of outer ear. It carries the sound towards middle ear.Middle earIt consists of three ear bones or ossicles (malleus, incus and stapes). These ossicles transmit sound to the inner ear. Malleus (also called hammer): It is hammer like ossicle. Its one end is attached to ear drum while other is connected with incus.Incus (anvil): It is anvil shaped bone, attached with malleus and stapes.Stapes: stirrup shaped bone attached to incus and oval window or vestibular window (membrane covered opening between middle ear and inner ear).Inner earIt contains cochlea, vestibule and semicircular canals. Cochlea: It is coiled portion and auditory portion of inner ear.Semi-circular canal: Three fluid filled canals horizontal semi-circular canal, posterior semi-circular canal and anterior semi-circular canal are called semi-circular canals.The fluid inside these canals is called endolymph. The dilation at one end of canal is called ampulla. Ampulla contains Cupula and hair cells.Semi-circular canals are responsible for body balance and detect direction of rotation of head.Vestibule: It is located between the semi-circular canals and cochlea. Its anterior and inferior part has several minute holes for the passage of filaments of acoustic nerve (auditory nerve) to saccule. Saccule detects the motion of head when it moves vertically. At the upper and back of vestibule a structure called utricle detects the degree of tilt movement of head.

Where does the bug go when it flies up your nose?
When a bug flies up a person's nose, usually it will come right back out. Assuming it really gets lodged in there, the bug will end up in the person's sinus cavity. If such an event occurs and the bug does not come out, it may be best to seek medical treatment.
What part of the outer ear that gathers sound?
As part of the external ear, the auricle or pinna acts like a horn to capture sound waves. They are then diverted or collected into the auditory canal. At the end of the canal is the tympanic membrane (eardrum) which changes the sound into vibrations to be transmitted further into the ear.
