ear hole
Canal's outer entrance
The ear hole is the opening in the side of the head that leads to the ear canal—the passage through which sound enters.
The term is informal and anatomically imprecise, sometimes referring to the visible opening, sometimes to the canal itself: He stuck his finger in his ear hole.
In body modification, ear hole can refer to a piercing, especially a stretched lobe piercing.
