If I didn't have ears, I'd never leave the house

Now that we're wearing masks everywhere, I muse about the stuff that hangs off our ears to make life liveable; mask, hearing aids, glasses.... It's getting crowded on the sides of my head.

Many masks, including N95 models, have two horizontal bands rather than ear loops. RockRaven Jul 2021 #2

Those would still work...

Horace Grant style glasses too. Or contacts of course.

That just leaves hearing aides. But if you didn't have ears... well do you mean the whole thing or just the auricle? Because maybe the audio stuff would be unnecessary anyway.

I definitely can't do dangling but the studs actually help me keep my masks on my inadequate ears.
