eardrop

Dangling lobe jewelry

An eardrop is a piece of jewelry that hangs from the earlobe—a dangling earring rather than a stud.

The word also refers to liquid medication administered into the ear canal: The doctor prescribed antibiotic eardrops for the infection.

Usually plural in both senses.
