The sensation of hearing air in your ear can be caused by several factors, such as Eustachian tube dysfunction, which occurs when the tube connecting the middle ear to the throat becomes blocked or doesn't function properly. This can lead to pressure changes and the feeling of fullness or sounds similar to air. Other possible causes include fluid buildup, earwax, or even changes in altitude. If the sensation persists or is accompanied by pain or hearing loss, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
Sound does travel slightly faster as air temperature increases and this applies when the sound enters the ear just as it does in any other air. Once the sound has passed the ear drum, air is no longer the medium in which the sound travels so air temperature no longer affects the speed of sound.
Sound travels through air as a series of compressions and rarefactions of air particles. When a sound wave encounters an object, it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted through the material. The ear receives these sound waves, which cause the eardrum to vibrate, transmitting the sound signals to the brain for interpretation.
No, the funnel for sound waves in the ear is actually the outer ear. The outer ear acts like a funnel, directing sound waves into the ear canal towards the eardrum, which vibrates in response to the sound waves.
The function of membranes and levers in the ear is to transmit sound efficiently from air to fluid. The auditory receptors of the inner ear operate in a fluid environment, and that it is really an "underwater" sound receiver.
No part of the ear actually amplifies sound, but the middle ear changes the nature of the waves from high amplitude to low amplitude but stronger waves to make the transition from air to liquid.

The structure in the ear that changes sound waves in the air into vibrations is called the eardrum.
Sounds vibrate the air molecules, when the vibrating molecules reach your ear, you ear the sound, there are no molecules in space, thus no sound in space
Sound, actually, is the vibration of air. The vibrations hit your ear drum in your ear.
Sound travels through the air in waves, caused by vibrations in the air molecules. These waves move through the air until they reach someone's ear. The ear then detects these vibrations and converts them into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound.
it travels because there are sound waves in the air and they vibrate in your ear.
it creates gaps in the air and then goes to your ear
There would be no sound. Sound requires a medium, like air, or water or anything with mass to propagate the wave that causes the vibration in the ear that produces the effect of sound in the brain. If you put your ear or more likely, the helmet of your spacesuit against the drum, the physical contact would transfer the vibration to the air in you helmet and then to your ear, enabling you to hear the sound.
Sound is a mechanism that is carried out by a median which the air particles that carries the sound waves to our ear that we actually hear. There are different sizes of sound waves released by different frequencies and then carried at different speed by the air particles to our ear. Without a median, it is impossible to hear anything around you, like if we take "OUTER SPACE OR VACUUM" into consideration, there is existence of median or no movement of air particles that could carry the sound waves. So as a result what actually our ear detect is the sound waves brought to your ears by a median.
Sound travels to your ear as air particles vibrate when sound waves are created. These vibrations enter the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. The vibrations are then transmitted through the middle ear to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing.
Yes. But they neither work like ours nor look like them. What is called the middle ear and the outer ear is designed to convert sound in air into sound in "water"; our inner ear is still the ones that was designed for fish some quarter billion years ago.
Most words spelled with -ear have a long E sound called a caret I, which sounds like "ear" as in fear, gear, and hear. It is also heard in words such as beer and pier. A few have the long A sound called a caret A, which sounds like "air" as in fare and fair. These are bear, pear, swear, wear, and tear (rip).
