Well, it would really lend an air of truth to one of those cheezy pick-up lines!

that is normal because the ears are connected to the back of the throat. Eustachion tubes (sp?).

One of my brother's friends had to have his ear drum pierced.. I forget exactly why, but it had something to do with ringing in his ears and everything sounding severly amplified to him. Supposedly, he hears normal now even though there's a tiny hole in his ear.

Anyone know anything about this type of surgery? I have no clue whether to believe this or not.

Yeah, thats why when the doctor sticks that scope in your ear you start coughing uncontrollably (err I do anyway).

Sorry.. I just finished working out.. and I felt like I was having a stroke.. I could hardly breathe or see... and my ear hurt like a mofo and felt like I could breathe with it. I think Im better now....
