Etymology

ear +‎ -less

Adjective

earless (not comparable)

  1. Lacking ears.
    • 2013 May-June, William E. Conner, “An Acoustic Arms Race”, in American Scientist, volume 101, number 3, pages 206-7:
      Earless ghost swift moths become “invisible” to echolocating bats by forming mating clusters close (less than half a meter) above vegetation and effectively blending into the clutter of echoes that the bat receives from the leaves and stems around them.
    Earless seals are probably more hydrodynamic without ear lobes.
