Low-set ears are defined as the outer ears being positioned two or more standard deviations lower than the population average. [1] Clinically, if the point at which the helix (curved upper part) of the outer ear meets the cranium is at or below the line connecting the inner canthi of eyes (the bicanthal plane), the ears are considered low set ...
Animals with a greater ear distance can localize lower frequencies than humans can. For animals with a smaller ear distance the lowest localizable frequency is higher than for humans. If the ears are located at the side of the head, interaural level differences appear for higher frequencies and can be evaluated for localization tasks.
Ear asymmetry allows for sound originating from below the eye level to sound louder in the left ear, while sound originating from above the eye level to sound louder in the right ear. Asymmetrical ear placement also causes IID for high frequencies (between 4 kHz and 8 kHz) to vary systematically with elevation, converting IID into a map of ...
Aural/Ear syringe: used to flush out anything like ear wax or foreign bodies from the external ear Toynbee's auscultation tube: Otoscope/Auriscope: to examine the external auditory canal and ear drum; used during aural toileting, removal of wax, myringotomy, stapedectomy and to dilate the stenosis of canal Mouth gag - •Doyen's mouth gag
The ears of newborn humans are proportionally very large, even more so than the head's largeness as compared to the body. Ears grow quickly until about the age of nine, then continue to grow steadily in circumference (about 0.5 millimeters a year) throughout life, with the increase in length more extreme in males.

100% invisible due to placement; Designed to be worn 24/7; Provides clear, natural sound; ... In the ear (ITE) hearing aids sit within the outer portion of the ear canal rather than outside the ear.
Aperture is the entrance to the ear canal; Auricular sulcus is the depression behind the ear next to the head; Concha is the hollow next to the ear canal; Conchal angle is the angle that the back of the concha makes with the side of the head; Crus of the helix is just above the tragus; Cymba conchae is the narrowest end of the concha
Placement of the tuning fork in front of the ear, to test air conduction. The Rinne test is performed by placing a 512 Hz vibrating tuning fork against the patient's mastoid bone and asking the patient to tell you when the sound is no longer heard.
