It seems that you missed the point, which was that if there is Doppler
shift in a mic because of diaphragm motion, then there must also be
Doppler
shift in the human ear
because of eardrum motion. If that is true then the hearing mechanism
must
have a method of compensation for it.

It seems you've missed my point. The brain "compensates" for the auditory
system itself, because you have NO other point of reference.


Sure you do, ever hear of bone conduction? That bypasses the eardrum
totally. There is also considerable evidence that we can "hear" the audio in
audio modulated RF at certain frequencies, which would seem to bypass the
physical hearing mechanism entirely. However, my point was that if one can
tell the difference between a "live" sound and the same sound reproduced on
a very high quality sound system, then either there is no audible distortion
present, or our ears have a mechanism that compensated for whatever
distortion is present, including any Doppler distortion.
