The pinna acts as a funnel for sound directing important information toward the earcanal and eventually the eardrum. The pinna also filters sound assisting in the localization of sounds both horizontally and vertically.
The pinna, or outer ear, functions like a funnel to catch sounds and direct them into the middle and inner ear, respectively. If you look at the structure of the pinna, its function is pretty obvious, as its shape almost resembles a whirlpool, with the center being the ear cavity.
The pinna collects the sound and directs it towards the ear canal.

Sound waves are 'collected' by the ear drum. This is a film stretched across the ear canal. Much like it's namesake, it responds to sound waves by vibrating. These vibrations are read as electrical signals by your nerves, and it is transmitted to brain as impulses.
The pinna notch is the range of audio frequencies that are suppressed due to phase-delay interference between sound that is reflected from the pinna (outer ear) and sound that travels directly to the tympanic membrane (eardrum). the largely cartilaginous projecting portion of the external ear

The pinna is the outer part of your ear that helps funnel sound into the middle and inner ear
The pinna helps focus sound into the inner ear and determine the direction from which the sound originates.
