How do earbuds deliver deep bass frequencies with such tiny drivers?

Usually when you have a smaller speaker, you sacrifice the low end, but earbuds seem to manage to deliver substantial bass nonetheless. I assume the proximity to the eardrum helps, but I don’t fully understand how.

Hijacking this for a Follow Up question: So when it comes to ear damage, do earbuds affect the ear the same as if listening to eqivalently set up speakers? Or is it more of a psychoacoustic thing?
