Why, the better to hear you with, my dear!
Actually, there are TONS of tiny blood vessels that run all throughout their ears. They're spread over a large surface area, which allows the blood to be exposed close to surface air and cool down. It's like spreading a liquid out in the air to let it dry because it gets more exposure to air, only it doesn't dry due to the thin skin of the ears. Then it runs through them cooler.

To get rid of the heat.
Their body is so round it works like a hot water bottle keeping the heat in. That's not good so with the ears the elephant can cool it's blood so he doesn't get to hot.

Because their hearing isn't great without huge sound 'catchers'. Seriously though...that's why some animals have big ears - elephants included...the large ears can pick up and direct sound into the ear canal.

It's a way to radiate heat from it's body.
African people tho are tall and long-limbed are built like that to radiate heat just as Eskimos are shorter and have short limbs to keep their body heat in.

heat release, millions of veins pump blood around the ears to cool the body...
