Why do you hear the sound with your right ear before your left ear?

The difference in hearing the sound with your right ear before your left ear is due to the time it takes for the sound waves to travel from the source to each ear.

Do You hear sound when your ear drum vibrates?

Yes, sound waves are collected by the outer ear and travel through the ear canal to the eardrum. When the eardrum vibrates in response to these sound waves, it sends these vibrations to the middle ear and then to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that are processed by the brain as sound.

What occurs when sound waves don't pass through the outer to the inner ear?

You don't hear anything. They don't actually have to get there through the outer ear. If your ear is plugged, or if your 'tympanum' (ear drum) is broken, the vibrations can conduct through the bone that you feel behind your ear. But they do have to get to the inner ear somehow. If vibrations don't reach the cochlea in the inner ear, then you don't hear anything.
