The answer is no, for two reasons: The first is that if the wavelength of a sound is very very long, it is likely to lie below the threshold that the human ear can detect. The second is that there is a certain distance along the ear canal to the eardrum, so no matter how close you stand to the wall, there will always be a distance for it to travel through before it strikes the eardrum. If this does not answer your question, please re-submit it, and add to your diagram an indication of where the "ear" would be placed.
