You absolutely do not want to put a shell up to your ear. Best case scenario, there’s nothing in there and you achieve the grand accomplishment of producing a hollow buffer against outside noise. Worst case scenario, a roach lives in there, waiting to dive into the moist chasm of your ear hole where it will rip through your tympanum when you cause it some minor discomfort. Median case scenario, a spider pops out and you go “AHH!”
I’d say the worst case scenario would be if you held a disgruntled cone snail to your ear. Getting stung in the head by one of the most venomous animals on earth probably isn’t the most comfortable sensation.
It sounds like you’ve had more than one traumatic trip to the beach. I’ve never really seen the point of listening to a shell to hear the sea, you’re at the beach, it’s right there, being noisy at you!

I tried searching for ‘disgruntled gone snail’ and got nothing. I don’t think that’s a real thing.
You need to up your search game, bro
