A Rodian with ears on the side of its head

The ear was the organ of hearing, whose visible part was a flap of tissue. Many species had a pair of ears placed symmetrically on opposite sides of the head.[1] Thanks to their bigger ears, some species like the rupings,[2] Lanniks,[3] and the Lasats had better hearing than humans.[1] The Pau'ans of Utapau had hypersensitive hearing, and were forced to protect their fragile ears with special coverings.[3] The ears of the Yuzzum were shaped like antennae.[4] The Gungans had long fin-like ears whose prominent lobes were referred to as haillu.[5] Twi'lek ears were sexually dimorphic: males had slightly pointed ears similar to those of humans, while females had conal nodes.[6]
