prominent ears
Ears that stick
Prominent ears stick out noticeably from the head, projecting at a wider angle than typical.
The term is neutral and descriptive, used in medical contexts for ears that may be candidates for otoplasty (surgical correction) and in everyday speech simply to describe someone's appearance: He was self-conscious about his prominent ears as a kid.
