Description: It is a common observation that human ears do not stop growing entirely as we age. Unlike bones, which stop growing after puberty, certain parts of our body made of cartilage, such as ears and nose, continue to change throughout life. This is because ears are primarily composed of cartilage, which is a flexible connective tissue. As we grow older, the cartilage in our ears undergoes structural changes. It does not grow in the same way bone tissue does, but it continues to change shape and loses elasticity over time. Additionally, gravity plays a role in making ears appear larger as the skin and cartilage sag slightly with age. This process is gradual, leading to a subtle increase in ear length, particularly in the earlobes, which can elongate over decades. Studies have shown that ears can grow by an average of 0.22 millimetres per year. This is why older people often have noticeably longer ears compared to their younger years. While this change is entirely natural and not dangerous, it is a clear example of how the body continues to evolve and adapt physically even after major growth phases have ended in early adulthood.
