The occlusion effect occurs when an object fills the outer portion of a person's ear canal, causing that person to perceive echo-like "hollow" or "booming" sounds generated from their voice, chewing, footsteps, or any other sounds originating in their own body. The bone-conducted sound travels to the cochlea through different pathways.
