One-Eared Insect
The only insect known to have just one ear is the mantis, also commonly referred to as a "praying mantis". Its single ear has two eardrums and is capable of picking up ultrasonic sounds, essential in detecting the echolocation cries of the bat, one of its biggest predators.
Oddly enough, it was just a few days ago I saw this bit of trivia on the same day of the anniversary of Vincent van Gogh cutting off his ear.

cryophobia
cryophobia - fear of extreme cold, frost or ice.
I don't "fear" those things but intensely dislike them...and it's not so much dislike of them but rather a hatred of the huge heating bills that accompany extreme cold, frost or ice.
Sometimes they make me want to cry...and that's a phobia I can do without.
