What purpose [if any] does the steadily increasing amount of hair in my ears and, especially, in my nose serve... except to look gross, and to force me to shave elsewhere besides my chin and neck? Some older guys have so much untrimmed inner ear hair, it looks like their ears have small beards growing from them. Eeeeew!

Because we put our nose in certain places with hair and sniff the hair seeds.
Ears and nose are connected ....

It is nature's way of keeping your total hair count high even as the hair falls off the top of your head from that bald patch. The new ear and nose hairs make up the difference. It is a shame that you can not do a combover with them to cover the bald area.

You have the hair when you are born. It just grows and darkens as we age. It has been there forever--it is just now becoming very visable

Part of God's cruel joke...nose, hair, ears and fingernails all continue to grow for a while even after we die!!!

because as we get older our hormones are changing creating hair in places we never had before
