detached earlobes
Free-hanging ear flesh
Detached earlobes hang freely below where they attach to the head, as opposed to attached earlobes that connect directly to the side of the face with no dangling portion.
The trait is genetic and commonly used in biology classes to illustrate inheritance patterns.
Neither type affects hearing or health.
