Ear part often pierced (4)

I believe the answer is:

lobe

(Other definitions for lobe that I've seen before include "Base of ear" , "Roundish projecting part" , "Rounded projection of a larger structure" , "Part of ear or leaf" , "Fleshy part of the ear (4)" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
