It may well be that for a microphone the holes are filled in, but the in-ear amplitude response is different for different directions
Møller et al., “Head-related transfer functions of human subjectsâ€, J. of Audio Eng. Soc. 1995, p.300
Shaw, “Earcanal pressure generated by a free sound fieldâ€, J. of Acoust. Soc. of America 1965, vol. 39, no.3, p.465
so I'm afraid that a simple in-room measurement does not tell the whole story.
