I recently found something online that was rather interesting so I decided to do a little "Myth Busting" to investigate.  I found a picture that said, "if you put ear buds up to your nostrils you have a built in amplifier" (your nasal cavity).

Being the guy that I am, I had to investigate.

I enlisted my daughter to help me test this theory.  She was my camera operator, I was the test subject/host.  Together, we discovered the truth to this rumor and have the video evidence right here on my blog.

You decide.  Does the music seem louder, or no change at all?  Btw, if you're not convinced after watching this video... you can just put your iPhone in a bowl if you want it louder.  It works perfectly.
