And when you hear external sound, it comes through the external auditory canal to the tympanic membrane.
But that shouldn't change the frequency from on key to off key... It could be though that the different coloration of ones voice on the recording throws one off.
Shouldn't? why?
It's very possible that some frequencies get dampened in the Eustachian tube.
It is common for you to ask others, when hearing your own voice recorded: Do I really sound like that?
And the answer is usually "yes".
Nowadays, the recordings are quite accurate.
