Solution

We do able to hear ourself even when we cover our ears because our internal organs are inter connected in such a way that whenever we speak that stimulates the muscles of our jaws and generates a corresponding signal to our ear drums and as a result our ear drums react or vibrate accordingly and transport the information to our brain.
