Hey folks,

Thought I'd post a hello. I'm Nate, I'm primarily a sound designer but I like to tinker with making microphones too. One of my projects is building binaural microphones, like the following two:

So, hello!
 
I love listening to binaural stuff on youtube... always made me wonder:

Are the microphones for these placed where the actual ear drums are? Sometimes when I listen to binaural recordings it sounds like the sound is 5-10cm away from the ear when I imagine the sound should ideally be touching.
