This is known in the biz as a "preauricular pit." For the sake of orientation, here's a bit of anatomy: the outer rim of the ear is called the helix. The area where the helix is attached to the face is known as the helical root. A preauricular pit is a tiny (1 to 2 millimeter) hole in the skin of the helical root.
Pits are present at birth; they form during early fetal development. In the 5th to 6th week post-conception, 6 tiny lumps of tissue begin merging, and by the 20th fetal week, these lumps have formed the external ear. If this process is something less than perfect, any number of external ear anomalies may result. Preauricular pits are (arguably) one of the milder anomalies that may result from imperfect external ear development. They are skin-lined and are typically less than one inch in depth.Pits are significant for two reasons. First, pits can become infected. An infected pit usually presents as a soft or hard swelling at the helical root; press on the swollen area, and a drop of pus will emerge from the pit. This can be treated with antibiotics, of course, but if the pit keeps getting infected you would probably want to have it surgically removed. This can be done under local anesthesia. You must make sure that your surgeon is familiar with pits. Simply excising the outer (visible) portion of the pit is inadequate; the surgeon must excise the entire pit. An ear, nose and throat surgeon would be the best choice for this procedure, since we all have experience with pits.Pits are also significant because they can be an indicator for other ear problems. In other words, there is a higher-than-chance association of pits with other (less visible) ear anomalies. These "deeper" anomalies are important because they usually impair hearing to some degree. You may or may not have noticed such a hearing loss; the loss may be mild, and may easily have gone unnoticed on school audiograms.Philip Roy Jones. Vancouver bc, prev Braintree Essex England

yes, that is your pee hole
Most people get their second hole on their right ear. ;D. But, it depends which ear you like best ;]
no
yes
Try a different style of ear plug
it is a a perforation in the eardrum wich means a tiny hole in the ear drum, don't worry it will go away in a week to a couple months if the hole doesn't go away by then you can get surgury to fix the problem.
Yes, it can cause an ear infection
No, harp seals do not have the pinna that we associate with the outer (visible) part of the ear. This does not mean they cannot hear; they hear well under and above water, although their hearing is not as sensitive above water as a human's.
On the top of the phone next to the ear phone jack, there is a small hole. Find something small enough that will fit in the hole and push down on it. That releases the pop-up simcard holder located right next to it. Pull it out install away. On the top of the phone next to the ear phone jack, there is a small hole.

Yes. There is a small tube that connects the ear canal to the throat. This is not normal. If the air is coming out of your ears you have a hole in your eardrum. Take it from someone who has had a hole in one eardrum for 20 years!! And by the time you realize you have an ear infection it is a bad one because it can't build up pressure behind the eardrum. The infection just leaks out the hole.
Two earings connected by a chain
Its a small, circular hole on each side of the lizard's head. If you look at it in the right angle, you can see straight through the ears!
