You are expecting complex systems to evolve as a unit, it doesn't happen that way as per my understanding. The gene is the evolutionary unit. The ear didn't evolve to be an ear, the genes that code the structure and function of the ear are what evolved. All genes want nothing more than to replicate themselves, whether it is for the benefit or detriment of the host is irrelevant to the gene. Luckily, having an ear lessens natural selection pressure.
