No. When sound is created the air molecules move but they don't go very far because they collide with the air in front of them. This makes those air molecules move which pushes the air in front of them, which pushes the air in front of them etc. etc.. So it is really the "pushing" that travels to your ear, not the original air molecules. Pulling the air also happens but its harder to explain in a few sentences. So what reaches your ear is a pushing - pulling type motion. But again, the original air molecules don't travel very far.
