An or a ear
Is it an ear or a ear?Going with vowels i should be an ear, but that sounds a bit odd. And I checked on google and theres tons of results for both
So most people are just as confused.Top answer
Hi, An ear. There's a lot of bad English on the Internet. But it's actually much easier to say 'an ear' than 'a ear', so I bet you that many of the people who write 'a ear' would actually say it aloud as 'an ear'.

0It's true that many are confused with the article "a" or "an", even among students and adults alike.
Apparently, not all words that begin with a vowel uses the article "an".
For instance, we say "a" University instead of "an" University.
Why?
This is simply because University is pronounce as "You"niversity. Hence, it begins with a consonant (not a vowel).

0The logic is based on the "sound" if the sound of the vowel is like "ye" then we do not use an.
e.g a university, a ear
In case where there is a silent letter before the vowel we still use an
e.g. an honour, an hour
