From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Ear \Ear\, n. [AS. e[a0]re; akin to OFries. [a0]re, [a0]r, OS.
      [?]ra, D. oor, OHG. [?]ra, G. ohr, Icel. eyra, Sw. [94]ra,
      Dan. [94]re, Goth. auso, L. auris, Lith. ausis, Russ. ukho,
      Gr. [?]; cf. L. audire to hear, Gr. [?], Skr. av to favor,
      protect. Cf. {Auricle}, {Orillon}.]
      1. The organ of hearing; the external ear.
  
      Note: In man and the higher vertebrates, the organ of hearing
               is very complicated, and is divisible into three parts:
               the external ear, which includes the pinna or auricle
               and meatus or external opening; the middle ear, drum,
               or tympanum; and the internal ear, or labyrinth. The
               middle ear is a cavity connected by the Eustachian tube
               with the pharynx, separated from the opening of the
               external ear by the tympanic membrane, and containing a
               chain of three small bones, or ossicles, named malleus,
               incus, and stapes, which connect this membrane with the
               internal ear. The essential part of the internal ear
               where the fibers of the auditory nerve terminate, is
               the membranous labyrinth, a complicated system of sacs
               and tubes filled with a fluid (the endolymph), and
               lodged in a cavity, called the bony labyrinth, in the
               periotic bone. The membranous labyrinth does not
               completely fill the bony labyrinth, but is partially
               suspended in it in a fluid (the perilymph). The bony
               labyrinth consists of a central cavity, the vestibule,
               into which three semicircular canals and the canal of
               the cochlea (spirally coiled in mammals) open. The
               vestibular portion of the membranous labyrinth consists
               of two sacs, the utriculus and sacculus, connected by a
               narrow tube, into the former of which three membranous
               semicircular canals open, while the latter is connected
               with a membranous tube in the cochlea containing the
               organ of Corti. By the help of the external ear the
               sonorous vibrations of the air are concentrated upon
               the tympanic membrane and set it vibrating, the chain
               of bones in the middle ear transmits these vibrations
               to the internal ear, where they cause certain delicate
               structures in the organ of Corti, and other parts of
               the membranous labyrinth, to stimulate the fibers of
               the auditory nerve to transmit sonorous impulses to the
               brain.
  
      2. The sense of hearing; the perception of sounds; the power
            of discriminating between different tones; as, a nice ear
            for music; -- in the singular only.
  
                     Songs . . . not all ungrateful to thine ear.
                                                                              --Tennyson.
  
      3. That which resembles in shape or position the ear of an
            animal; any prominence or projection on an object, --
            usually one for support or attachment; a lug; a handle;
            as, the ears of a tub, a skillet, or dish. The ears of a
            boat are outside kneepieces near the bow. See Illust. of
            {Bell}.
  
      4. (Arch.)
            (a) Same as {Acroterium}.
            (b) Same as {Crossette}.

                     Dionysius . . . would give no ear to his suit.
                                                                              --Bacon.

      {Ear trumpet}, an instrument to aid in hearing. It consists
            of a tube broad at the outer end, and narrowing to a
            slender extremity which enters the ear, thus collecting
            and intensifying sounds so as to assist the hearing of a
            partially deaf person.
  
      {Ear vesicle} (Zo[94]l.), a simple auditory organ, occurring
            in many worms, mollusks, etc. It consists of a small sac
