The Human Ear - What Did He Say?
The human ear is an auditory gate that provides an incredible range of long-term memories. Through the ear the sound of music is captured and then recalled throughout your life. You ear will allow the voice of a loved one to move you to an emotional response. Your ear can take in the sounds of nature as well as the sounds of threat and violence and your body will respond in manner specific to the audible information provided.
The ear is a way to take in information, allow it to run through a mental process and respond using voice or touch.
The ear is also instrumental in allowing your body to remain stable. The body's equilibrium is established by the amount of pressure in the inner ear.
The ear is uniquely shaped to capture sound and channel it from the outer ear through the ear canal. The middle ear converts the sound when it strikes the eardrum and conveys the sound to the inner ear and sends the information on the brain instantaneously.
The human ear is the most complex sensory system in the human body. Vision and smell are extraordinary senses, but they do not match in complexity to the ear's process of turning minute waves of sound pressure from air molecules banging against the eardrum into the neural signals that get sent to the brain and interpreted as sound.

The description above is a very stripped down version of the multiple processes that are required for hearing to take place.
These are just a few facts about the ear, but not everyone agrees on 'facts'.
Scientific Evidence
"False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness." - Charles Darwin
Darwin pioneered the intense questioning of scientific data. In many ways his premise was admirable while his conclusions were based on insufficient data or a scientific sample too small to be replicated.
Darwin was right when he said, "False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science." I'm not sure even he understood how lasting his theory would become and how injurious it would become to the separation of false information that is widely believed versus fact that is dismissed because it doesn't square with conventional wisdom. In essence, the maverick sprit that caused Darwin to question scientific data has ultimately resulted in a new status quo.
Conclusion
The design of the human ear is a wonderful example of the unique nature of mankind. The belief that natural selection, time, chance and a good bit of luck is responsible for the ear seems a bit lacking in substance when you consider the incredible receptors that send auditory signals to the brain.
The manner in which the senses of sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing work together to provide the mind with ample input to reason is something that evolutionary theory seems ill-equipped to explain and the rest of the animal kingdom cannot duplicate.
Maybe the ear looks designed because it is designed.
