Not completely. There is a connection between the ear, nose and throat (ENT). That's why there is a specialty called ENT Surgery or Otorhinolaryngology. When yawning, your eustachian tube is closed and due to pressure differences between your middle ear and outer ear, the ear drum is partially/temporarily displaced. This makes sound vibrations not easily detectable. Try flying in a pressurized aircraft cabin and experience this. Try also tha valsalva maneouvre.

Good question...
I can still hear stuff when I yawn, but is it just me?
Maybe it has something to do with the copious amounts of air you draw in, maybe it's because you're too focused on yawning to listen - do you make a noise when you yawn? You might be listening to that instead of other things.

Nobody is talking. Since you're not listening.
