If you cut off your ear can you still hear?

No, because your ear is part of your eardrum , and without your eardrum you cannot hear ** Actually the above is not true. Your ear on the outside can be completely removed and as long as the ear canal is still open you can still hear. The eardrum is far inside the ear canal that it would not affect your hearing. You would look funnywithout the outside of your ear though.Your ear, on the outside is used to channel, amplify sound to your eardrum. That's why holding your hands behind your ears amplify sounds so much. So it's not needed to hear, but it dramatically helps with amplifying sounds, and also with determining direction of sound. Without it you'd be one confused person.
