Elephant ears have many uses.

First, they are used to hear with. :)

Second, they are used to help keep an elephant's body temperature down. Their ears have a lot of blood vessels that carry warm blood from their body to the skin, where the blood is cooled down either by the surface air, or by flapping their ears, or both, and then the cooler blood is returned to the body where it helps cool the animal down.

Ears are also used to communicate. Elephants use ear posture to communicate joy, calm, excitement, and warnings to each other and to other animals that they are about to charge. By holding their ears stiffly out from the sides of their heads, they also can make themselves look even larger and more formidable than they already are.
