Why ears grow longer with age? Gravity over time forces every body appendage to sag. The bane of human aging: If it can sag, it will sag! Ears included.

Heart valves, like ears, are made of cartilage.
Persons having a superior ability to regenerate cartilage could be responsible for the association between longevity and larger ears.

If this is the case then Jumbo and Conkorde should suffer less from osteoarthritis, e.g. are less likely to require hip replacement than individuals of same age who have smaller cartilaginous appendages.
