Cultural Note
'Ganz Ohr sein' (to be all ears) and 'die Ohren spitzen' (to prick up one's ears) work similarly to their English equivalents. A romantic gesture is 'jemandem etwas ins Ohr flüstern' (to whisper something into someone's ear). 'Ohrwurm' (earworm) describes a catchy tune stuck in your head.
