"My first encounter with a disgusting ear scene was in Alan Parker's Midnight Express where Billy Hayes bites off some guy's ear in a prison yard fight."
Here is the line-up on the ten grossest ear scenes -- Videos are included:

(10) Blue Velvet- Ear Ants! While walking home from the local hospital Kyle MacLachlan finds a severed human ear lying in a nearby field.
(9) Heartbreak Ridge- Sudden Earring Removal!
(8) Wild Wild West- Public Ear Cleaning!
(7) The Big Lebowski- Ear Bite and Spit! The true grandson scene to the for mentioned Midnight Express ear bite scene.
(6) The Fly- Ear Falls Off! Just after Seth Brundle finishes soaking his donuts in three gallons of fly vomit, he reaches up to scratch his ear - which promptly "pops" off his head.
(5) Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan- Ear Crawlies!
(4) Scary Movie- Ear Glory Hole!
(3) Chopper- Conscious Ear Removal!
(2) Dead Alive- Ear Pudding!
(1) Reservoir Dogs- Ear Torture!

I don't think it was any of these. However, I think I remember it being a chunk out of the top part of the ear and I also think I remember a joke being made about in one of the following scenes.
