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.

Is it true that the funnel for sound waves in the ear is the outer ear?

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.

How does sound travel to your ear?

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.


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.
