∙ 13y agoSound make up a wide diversity of information readily available to virtually everybody.
In order to pick up and utilize this information we need ears.
The shape of our ears make it possible for us to distinguish to a certain extent where sound is coming from.
Sound is the method mostly used when giving out information, hence being able to hear is equally as important. The ears is of mayor importance to all animals, not only humans.

I suppose the ears as such does not actually make you hear. They do however pick up sound and direct the sound into the inner ear so that you hear sounds better.
