Even if he did I had my entire ear torn off my head in an accident when I was 13. It's not that big of a deal, it bleeds a lot and you gotta get a plastic surgeon to make it look right when they put it back on.
Amusement park, bunk bed with no top rail, unknown (at the time) inner ear issue and a hard table with stuff on it.
Came home, got in bed, reached to put my Gameboy on a table next to my bed, lost my balance fell off and smacked my head into a table that had hard plastic stuff on it which broke and tore my ear off.
I've also tore off the tip of and partially degloved my pinky.
