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!”

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!
