Description
Four authors measure the outer ear in Nepali hospital patients in this 2025 study. Ear dimensions are working data for reconstructive surgery, forensics, and product design, and they vary by population, sex, and age, so local reference values matter.
The cross-sectional study measured 157 adults, eighty-two men and seventy-five women, with normal ears at a dental college hospital. A digital caliper recorded ear height and width and lobe dimensions on both sides. Right and left ears differed minimally; average height was about sixty-three millimeters. Men had taller and wider ears, while women had slightly larger lobes, and lobe height varied the most. The values form a local baseline.
