I understand that the ear drum vibrates to create sound, but when your ears are 100% plugged, how can sound waves vibrate the drum? And I’m not talking about not hearing a jet engine, I’m talking about things more along the lines of everyday noise.

Not all sound goes in through your ear canal. Your whole head can act as a receiver. That’s the way bone conduction headphones work. They don’t pump sound into your ear, they put it in through your skull. Since your eardrum is connected to your head, those vibrations can still make it through.
