It depends on the continuity, but it's typically a set of directional microphones and high-gain antennas to give him better-than-human hearing abilities. Because he's a bat, see?



enter image description here



The prop from Dawn of Justice contains similar technology, according to the DoJ: Tech Manual, describing the cowl as containing a




titanium core and a range of infrared and sonic comms




enter image description here



In All Star Batman #2, we see that Batman's new cowl has ears that contain a little surprise, functioning as the handles of a pair of concealed knives



enter image description here



And in Batman and Robin #22, the ears can be ejected and work as thrown knives.
