Published in Human Anatomy Differences 1 min read

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.
