Believe it or not, it's your sinuses. Remember, the ear, nose, and throat are all connected through the sinuses. This is why your ear may pop when you blow your nose or sneeze very hard. Another cause for your ear to sound like it's plugged may be either an ear infection, a sinus infection, or wax clogging your ear canals. However, if this 'sound' persists, or if it is accompanied by other symptoms, visit your physician.

What does the shape of the ear do?

The shape of the ear helps to capture and funnel sound waves into the ear canal. The folds and curves in the ear also help to amplify and localize sounds, allowing us to better pinpoint the direction from which a sound is coming. Additionally, the ear shape contributes to our ability to filter out background noise and focus on specific sounds.


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.
