Generally, yes, boys' ears tend to be bigger than girls', especially as they grow older.
Based on available data, there is a difference in ear size between boys and girls. Let's break it down:
- Children: At 6 months, the average ear length in boys is 48mm, increasing to 55mm at 5 years and 59mm at 10 years. The ear length for girls is a little reduced compared to boys at the same ages.
- Adults: The average adult male ear is 63mm tall, while the average adult female ear is 59mm tall.
Age Group | Sex | Average Ear Height (mm) |
---|---|---|
6 Months | Male | 48 |
5 Years | Male | 55 |
10 Years | Male | 59 |
Adult | Male | 63 |
Adult | Female | 59 |
Therefore, while there may be individual variations, on average, boys' ears are indeed larger than girls' ears. This difference becomes more pronounced as they reach adulthood.
