Why muscles that move ear vestigial?

Humans do not need to move their ears to hear, but those muscles have nothing to do with hearing sound (there are muscles in the middle ear which do) BUT with the location of sound. The shape of the human ear is a type of phase-delay echo chamber; this phase delay gives us an up-down orientation to a sound. The phase difference of the sound from each ear gives us right-left orientation. This method is much quicker than turning either the ears OR the head to locate a sound source.
