His ears, however, were taking in the things that Mort was saying to the rest of the crowd.

"And ears, when you don't take the trouble to whisper."

He shook his head violently, as if his ears had taken water.

It stopped up eyes, and ears; took residence in my soul.

The outer ear acts like a funnel and takes in the sound.

He had not really been listening, yet his ears had taken in every word.

He would look until his eyes gave out; listen till his ears could take no more.

Maybe you've been talking too much already, and somebody's ears took it all in!

They had no ears to take but I took this.
