Ear

The ear emoji depicts the external part of the auditory system and symbolizes the act of hearing. It is commonly used in contexts related to listening, sound, music, and conversations. This emoji can emphasize auditory perception or the need to pay attention and hear something. Various skin-tone modifiers allow for inclusive representation of different users. When used alongside the ear with hearing aid emoji (🦻), it can convey considerations for hearing impairments. It often appears in messages about audio, podcasts, and sound notifications.
