in living\carbon\human\life.dm:

 //Ears
    if(sdisabilities & DEAF)    //disabled-deaf, doesn't get better on its own
        ear_deaf = max(ear_deaf, 1)
    else if(ear_deaf)           //deafness, heals slowly over time
        ear_deaf = max(ear_deaf-1, 0)
    else if(istype(ears, /obj/item/clothing/ears/earmuffs)) //resting your ears with earmuffs heals ear damage faster
        ear_damage = max(ear_damage-0.15, 0)
        ear_deaf = max(ear_deaf, 1)
    else if(ear_damage < 25)    //ear damage heals slowly under this threshold. otherwise you'll need earmuffs
        ear_damage = max(ear_damage-0.05, 0)

There is a check that if ear_damage is over 25 it wont heal on its own unless you wear earmuffs.
Ear_damage is a superfluous var and doesn't actually do jack shit as far as I can tell.

Ear_deaf is the var that's checked in the procs for playing sounds and hearing things speak.
