The term "analog ear" can be considered outdated in today's digital age, but there are still many synonyms that refer to the same concept. One of the options is a "natural ear," which reflects the idea of using the ears in their unaided state to process sound. Another option is a "mechanical ear," which amplifies and modulates sound waves with the help of various devices and structures. A "physical ear" is similar to a mechanical ear, but emphasizes the physical properties of the ear and its components. Finally, a "human ear" is the most straightforward synonym, acknowledging that it is the uniquely evolved ear of the human species that is being referred to.
