The part of the external ear that hangs below the auditory canal

Auricle/pinna

Explanation:

The pinna is a flap of skin and cartilage which partially covers the opening to the external auditory meatus. It collects and concentrates sound waves into the auditory meatus. The pinna leads into the external auditory meatus which is a tube that directs sound waves to the eardrum also called the tympanic membrane.
