Why do the etymologies of "ear" and "hear" seem to kinda ignore each other?

Same in other Germanic languages. Also in Greek: ous, akouo*:
* koein, ko-o: is also mentioned by some: can't find it in my dicos.
Well, here I found an answer, but taken from which source? =>

So it would be sth like hear ~ (a)k-ear, sharp ear.
