Sorry, they do seem to get bigger the longer you’re walking around. From WebMD:
Noses and ears are made of cartilage, a flexible tissue that’s harder than skin but softer than bone. It wears down over time and doesn’t give as much support to the skin on top of it. Your skin also loses elasticity and firmness over time, and it tends to sag. Loose or sagging skin over a weaker cartilage frame makes ears and noses look longer.
As you age, gravity causes the cartilage in your ears and nose to break down and sag. This results in droopier, longer features. Studies have estimated that ears lengthen at a rate of about .22 millimeters per year. The growth appears in men and women, so it’s just one of the many universal joys of getting older.
Her hair covered her ears most of the time and even if he did notice, why in the world would he say anything about it. Doing so would only hurt her feelings.
I’ve never noticed older women’s ears being big, probably because they are usually covered by their hair. Tragically, older men tend to run out of hair to hide their growing imperfections, and the hair growing out of their ears and noses only makes it so much worse. Bushy beards and caps with ear flaps are our only defenses, and they are poor ones indeed.

One of the perks of getting old is to have no care about our features. Soon enough they will get very much worse, but until then life goes on!

He could tell her that although her ears are longer and her breasts are sagging, at least the hem of her skirt is rising away from the floor…

LBJ had quite a set of ears on him.
Now, I think that I understand why the early presidents wore wigs.

Why would she suddenly notice her ears? Her hair color may be different, but it is the exact same style.
