Do you know what protruding ears are?

Protruding ears are a common congenital auricular deformity, which is generally believed to be caused by incomplete formation of the helix or underdeveloped concha cartilage during the embryonic period. If you don’t know much about protruding ears, take a look at the following article.

What is a protruding ear

In a normal adult, the distance between the upper end of the auricle and the side of the skull is no more than 2 cm, and the angle between the auricle as a whole and the side of the skull is about 30 degrees. The protruding ear deformity is manifested as an excessive expansion of this angle, which is about 90 degrees. As a result, the external ear appears to protrude significantly outward, especially in the upper part, so it is also called transverse process deformity of the external ear.

The deformity is usually bilateral and may vary in severity. It may also be seen on one side. The deformity is mainly caused by the excessive angle between the scaphoid and concha. The posterior wall of the normal concha is perpendicular to the side of the skull, and the scaphoid angle is also approximately a right angle. The normal scaphoid angle forms the raised antihelix and its posterior crura. If the scaphoid angle is too large, close to 180 degrees, this raised area disappears completely, and the triangular fossa and the scaphoid fossa lose their obvious interface and are located in the same plane. The upper part of the auricle becomes flat, so it is also called a flat ear.

The cause of protruding ears is mostly congenital malformation, which usually occurs on both sides and the degree may vary. The auricle is basically fully developed after the age of 6, so children can also undergo protruding ears correction surgery. Although the operation is not very complicated, considering the aesthetic issues, special attention should be paid to prevent postoperative infectious complications of protruding ears. Anti-inflammatory measures must be strengthened before, during and after the operation. Before the protruding ears correction surgery, a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the auricle shape should be conducted, and a scientific and reasonable design plan should be formulated. Close observation should be carried out during the surgery, and regular follow-up visits should be made after the protruding ears correction surgery.

What are protruding ears and what are their meanings?

Protruding ears are a common congenital auricular deformity, which is generally believed to be caused by incomplete formation of the helix or underdeveloped concha cartilage during the embryonic period. These two parts of the deformity may exist separately or occur simultaneously. Protruding ears are more common bilaterally, but the degree of deformity on both sides is different. The same deformity can usually be found in the child's parents and siblings.

Among Eastern peoples, protruding ears, which are taboo in Westerners, are still considered by some to be a symbol of success, happiness and wealth. Some even believe that protruding ears are a sign that a child is smart. Therefore, although protruding ears are common in our country, few people seek treatment. However, in Western countries, the situation is completely different. Children with protruding ears are not considered blessed or smart. On the contrary, they often become the target of ridicule by their peers, and the constant nicknames such as donkey ears and rabbit ears put psychological and mental pressure on the children.

What are protruding ears? Clinical manifestations of protruding ears:

1. The auricles of both ears are prominent and protrude outwards, or may only be seen on one side;

2. The distance between the upper end of the auricle and the side wall of the skull is greater than 2 cm, and the angle is about 90°;

3. The upper part of the auricle is flat, and the navicular angle is greater than 150° or completely disappeared.

Are protruding ears good?

According to many traditional Chinese physiognomy books, protruding ears are a sign of bad fortune, and the owner of the person is either poor or lowly. However, in real life, there are many celebrities who have protruding ears but still gain both fame and fortune, and have both wealth and power. Why is this? At first, I was puzzled by this problem. Later, I found out that those celebrities who had protruding ears but gained both fame and fortune were often thin or had long faces, or had wood or fire types with narrow upper parts and wide lower parts, or wide upper parts and pointed lower parts. Why don’t people of the Wood and Fire types mind protruding ears? It turns out that wood is a tree. If a tree attracts the wind, it will grow big. As for a big tree, it will naturally stand out in the forest or stand out from the crowd of chickens. The same principle applies to fire-type people: attracting wind means being exposed but not hidden. The more the fire is exposed, the stronger it will be, and it will be a big fire. Otherwise, it will be a small fire in the kitchen. However, it should be noted that although some celebrities' ears stick out, they have perfect contours, are long (or wide) and large, and their ears seem to be quite thick when inspected visually. Protruding ears are a common congenital auricle deformity, which is generally believed to be caused by incomplete formation of the antihelix or incomplete development of the concha cartilage during the embryonic period. These two deformities may exist alone or occur simultaneously.

Protruding ears refer to protruding ear bones. People with such protruding ears are usually strong-willed, extroverted, proactive, and fond of excitement and adventure. They are suitable for starting a business, but they have a rebellious personality and are difficult to discipline.
