Abstract

In this study, 532 minors from northern China were selected to measure their facial ear length and width. Data statistics showed that there was significant difference in the length of facial ears between different genders (P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference in the width of facial ears between different genders (P < 0.05). The length and width of facial ears of boys and girls increased with the increase of age, but there was no significant difference between different ages (P < 0.05). The research results can provide data support for the ergonomic design of earphones, earmuffs and other ear products.
