Responsible for balance. 1400 years ago people thought that ears were responsible for hearing only. Today we know that ears are also responsible for balance.

The inner ear is responsible for balance. This was known recently, however this was portrayed in the Quran 1400 years before it was discovered.
Quran 18:11 Then We hit them on their ears in the cave for a number of years.
"Darabna ala Athanihim فَضَرَبْنَا عَلَىٰ آذَانِهِمْ " means we hit them on their ears. If you see these people you will think they are awake however they are actually unable to wake up. If you are asleep anything can wake you up however if you are knocked out then nothing can wake you up. Just watch a boxing match and see the difference.
Since these people couldn't wake up then they were knocked out by blows to their ears.
