The Outer Ear: Catch the Wave. The outer ear is called the pinna or auricle (say: OR-ih-kul). This is the part of the ear that people can see. It's what people pierce to wear earrings and what your friend whispers into when it's time for a secret. The main job of the outer ear is to collect sounds, whether they're your friend's whispers or a barking dog.
