Soft hanging part of the ear (4)

I believe the answer is:

lobe

(Other definitions for lobe that I've seen before include "Appendage to ear" , "Roundish projecting part" , "could be site of a 24 [STUD]" , "Part of ear or leaf" , "Division of the lungs or brain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
