The hull is in a vacuum, and so are the eardrums.

What part of the question or the premis stipulated that the eardrums are in vacuum? Who cares if the eardrums of a dead human vibrate?

The hull and all other parts of the ship or suit around the eardrums would all also vibrate.

The idea is that the eardrums are not vibrating due to the air - so such medium is irrelevant to the question.

GP specifically said "hear things explode in space".

If we are talking about manned spacecraft, I would expect the interior of the hull to be held at 1 atm.
