    Secondary ear pain is a type of referred pain, meaning that the source of the pain differs from the location where the pain is felt. Primary ear pain is more common in children, whereas secondary (referred) pain is more common in adults. [13] Primary ear pain is most commonly caused by infection or injury to one of the parts of the ear. [3]

  3. Auricle (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auricle_(anatomy)

    Amplification of sound by the pinna, tympanic membrane and middle ear causes an increase in level of about 10 to 15 dB in a frequency range of 1.5 kHz to 7 kHz. This amplification is an important factor in inner ear trauma resulting from elevated sound levels .

  4. Otitis externa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otitis_externa

    Otitis externa, also called swimmer's ear, [1] is inflammation of the ear canal. [2] It often presents with ear pain, swelling of the ear canal, and occasionally decreased hearing. [2] Typically there is pain with movement of the outer ear. [3] A high fever is typically not present except in severe cases. [3]

  5. Outer ear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_ear

    The outer ear, external ear, or auris externa is the external part of the ear, which consists of the auricle (also pinna) and the ear canal. [1] It gathers sound energy and focuses it on the eardrum ( tympanic membrane ).

  6. Perichondritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perichondritis

    Perichondritis is inflammation of the perichondrium, a layer of connective tissue which surrounds cartilage. [2] A common form, auricular perichondritis (perichondritis auriculae) involves infection of the pinna due to infection of traumatic or surgical wound or the spread of inflammation into depth (e.g. Infected transcartilaginous ear piercings).

    The outer ear is the external portion of the ear and includes the fleshy visible auricle, the ear canal, and the outer layer of the eardrum (also called the tympanic membrane). [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The auricle consists of the curving outer rim called the helix , the inner curved rim called the antihelix , and opens into the ear canal.

  8. Relapsing polychondritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relapsing_polychondritis

    A cauliflower ear deformity. Inflammation of the cartilage of the ear is a specific symptom of the disease and affects most people. [3] It is present in about 20% of persons with RP at presentation and in 90% at some point. [3] Both ears are often affected but the inflammation may alternate between either ear during a relapse. [3]

  9. Posterior auricular muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_auricular_muscle

    The postauricular reflex is a vestigial myogenic [4] muscle response in humans that acts to pull the ear upward and backward. [5] Research suggests neural circuits for auricle orienting have survived in a vestigial state for over 25 million years. It is often assumed the reflex is a vestigial Preyer reflex (also known as the pinna reflex). [6] [7]
