Doesn't really bother me if they do or don't have nostrils...

I always figured that they did have nostrils, and ear hole (ear orifice?) just that the nostrils were too close to mouths and since they were slits they were not really visible, and the ears were beneath the bandanas. But it wouldn't bother me if they had nostrils.

Turtles hear with tympanic membranes just like other reptiles.

It's the big round piece behind near reptile's eyes birds have them too.

We have them but they are internal.

I always assumed they had nostrils just not big cavernous ones, if they have full human noses I think it woudl be a deal breaker, rather them have some sort of turtlish lookign beak thing.

Its not going to destroy my world if they do, but I would definitely prefer the look of the turtles to stick to the traditional appearance.

Im not really a fan of bamboo armour and pants either, but who knows...
