Klingon Ears

Something occured to me. In the TNG+ era of StarTrek, all the Klingons have hair that goes up to the edge of their face and are either let out in shoulder length or longer ringlet hair or pulled back into a pony tail. It occured to me that I don't think I've ever seen a Klingons ears. Are they under there? I mean, when the hair is pulled back in a ponytail, you can see lumps there on Worf and Alexander, which would indicate that something is under there, but I don't recall ever seeing them. Just to sate my curiousity, do they have ears?

Klingons can hear so they definately must have ears. The question is whether the ears are like human ears. Most trek species have ears similar to human ears. So I think the Klingons also have humanlike ears.

When Worf tried to get it on with the half Klingon half Romulan chick she looked like a Klingon with pointed ears. So I'm thinking that they don't look like that normally.

The TOS movie-era Klingons had ears, I believe. Just look at Chang in ST6.

Good point, I'll assume that under their funky super sideburns, they've got human-like ears.
