TIL Americans use "in one ear and out the other" instead of "I forgot" — here are 3 ear idioms explained in 30 sec

Hey guys! Made a quick 30-sec short explaining 3 "ear" idioms that natives use all the time:

  1. Not believe your ears = shocked by what you heard

  2. In one ear out the other = immediately forgotten

  3. Turn a deaf ear to = deliberately ignore

I keep hearing students say "I didn't listen" when "turn a deaf ear" sounds way more natural.

Video with examples: [YouTube Link]

Which one did you already know? And which body part idioms should I do next — eyes, nose, or mouth?

Hope this helps someone!
