A Morphometric Study of the External Ear Morphology among Adult Male Libyan Population

Abstract

The aim of our study is to have an idea about morphology and morphometric characteristics of external ear among
Libyan adults, and to generate anthropometric normative cross-sectional data for Libyan population. Total (191)
male volunteers were randomly selected for this study. The cohort consisted of ages 19 to 23. The average total ear
height across the entire cohort for both left and right ears was (60.760 ± 5.31 mm), the average ear breadth was
(31.15±3.025), lobular height was (13.697 ± 4.24), and average lobular width was (9.210 ± 4.21mm). Between
individuals such parameters showed a high percentage of differences, and when analyzed the differences were
statistically significant
