tips for hiding protruding ears?

i’ve heard otoplasty procedures can be dangerous, and i want to avoid surgery as it is. i have ears like this: https://secureservercdn.net/198.71.233.129/28g.ca0.myftpupload.com//wp-content/uploads/2015/02/otoplasty-before.jpg that protrude outwards and are very, very rounded. combined with my features, they make me look really bad, not cute. i’ve been called monkey and an elephant many times as insults.

there’s so many hairstyles i can’t try because of my ears. i’ve wanted to get a short cut for the longest time but i can’t because of my ears, same with ponytails and buns. if the wind blows in the right direction my long hair gets swooped to the side and my ears are exposed. then the insults and nasty stares follow.

anyone have any tips on how to hide them better? anything in general will help
