Your ears respond to variations in air pressure - provided they are in the range of frequencies we hear.
Touch sensors are a bit more complex.
We can detect sharp/blunt. We can detect usual touch, and separately, we can detect a light brushing, as with a wisp of paper or cloth. Sometimes folk have some, but not all, of these touch sensors damaged and the analysis of which are damaged helps localize the damage location.
We can also feel vibrations, and this feeling is different from usual touch.
