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. It is the result of malformation of cartilage during primitive ear development in intrauterine life. [1] The deformity can be corrected anytime after five years of age.
Ear hair generally refers to the terminal hair arising from follicles inside the external auditory meatus in humans. [2] In its broader sense, ear hair may also include the fine vellus hair covering much of the ear, particularly at the prominent parts of the anterior ear, or even the abnormal hair growth as seen in hypertrichosis and hirsutism.

The technique is used for protuberant "lop" ears to correct the problem in the least invasive way. From the back of the ear, permanent, non-absorbable sutures (called by Fritsch "retention sutures") are placed invisibly into the cartilage of the external ear pinna with a unique technique, whereby the stitch passes in and out of the same needle hole achieve the desired pathway for the suture to ...

Beck–Fahrner syndrome, also known as BEFAHRS and TET3 deficiency, is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations of the TET3 gene. The clinical presentation varies among individuals, but typically includes global developmental delay, slow progress in mental and physical activities, autism, decreased muscle tone, epilepsy and dysmorphic features.
The ear is built to function like a "conveyor belt" by sloughing off dead skin and earwax that naturally pushes its way out. This system tends to work well without much need for assistance.
