Description
Bastian Schulz and co-authors measure ear dimensions on CT scans across age and sex in a 2024 study. The outer ear helps forensic work such as facial reconstruction and identification of remains, and its shape also interests medicine and industry. Ear size is even tied in folk belief to health and long life, while surgeons rebuild ears for birth defects and looks.
Head scans from hundreds of women and men aged eighteen to ninety seven were measured in three dimensional renderings. Several lengths, widths, and outlines were taken on both sides, plus the area in front of the ear. The paper reports how those measures vary with age and sex, giving reference values for clinical and forensic use.
