Clint Eastwood, who has an extreme form of attached ear lobe.. Earlobes average about 2 centimeters long, and elongate slightly with age. [7] Although the "free" vs. "attached" appearance of earlobes is often presented as an example of a simple "one gene – two alleles" Mendelian trait in humans, earlobes do not all fall neatly into either category; there is a continuous range from one ...
Otoplasty (surgery of the ear) was developed in ancient India and is described in the medical compendium, the Sushruta Samhita (Sushruta's Compendium, c. 500 AD).The book discussed otoplastic and other plastic surgery techniques and procedures for correcting, repairing and reconstructing ears, noses, lips, and genitalia that were amputated as criminal, religious, and military punishments.

Low-set ears are a clinical feature in which the ears are positioned lower on the head than usual. They are present in many congenital conditions.Low-set ears are defined as the outer ears being positioned two or more standard deviations lower than the population average. [1]
Thickened earlobes-conductive deafness syndrome, also known as Escher-Hirt syndrome, or Schweitzer Kemink Graham syndrome, [1] is a rare genetic disorder which is characterized by ear and jaw abnormalities associated with progressive hearing loss. [2] Two families worldwide have been described with the disorder. [3]
Boy with otapostasis. Father and son with otapostasis. Protruding ear, otapostasis or bat ear is an abnormally prominent human ear.It may be unilateral or bilateral. The concha is large with poorly developed antihelix and scapha.
A 4-mm-long titanium screw with a diameter of 3.75 mm was inserted in the bone behind the ear, and a bone conduction hearing aid was attached. The term osseointegration was coined by Professor Brånemark. During animal studies, he found the bone tissue attached to the titanium implant without any soft tissue in between.
The evolution of mammalian auditory ossicles was an evolutionary process that resulted in the formation of the mammalian middle ear, where the three middle ear bones or ossicles, namely the incus, malleus and stapes (a.k.a. "the anvil, hammer, and stirrup"), are a defining characteristic of mammals.
