Actually your eardrum does not have electric current and in which it only uses sound so if you get an electric shock it does not harm your ear drums.
Electrical energy is converted to sound energy in loudspeakers and earphones. The basic internal transducers are either magnetic coils or piezo-electric crystals.
Sound waves are longitudinal waves. These would vibrate a diaphragm which has been attached with a coil kept in a magnetic field. As the coil vibrates then current is induced. This is how sound wave gets changed into electric current.
The telephone does that!
That depends on the amplifier driving the earphones. Keep volume low.
