Comment on People with bad/no hearing, can you "hear" yourself chewing when you eat?

I’m not deaf, but just in case you don’t get an answer that stems from personal experience:

Your hearing loss in the one ear is (I’m assuming) caused by the ear canal being blocked. Your sensory organ still hears you chewing because the sound is transferred through the bones of your skull to your ear.

A deaf person has a different problem: their sensory organ is damaged or missing, so it doesn’t matter where the sound comes from, they don’t hear it.
