Identifying position, visibility, dimensions, and angulation of the ear. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2014;51(4):599–608. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2013.06.013 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2013.06.013JSP Aim – Assess ear position with a reference plane indicator, angulations of ear in relation to nose, visibility from frontal view, and ear dimensions by using various anthropometric points of face. Relevance – Regardless of treatment plan selected for unilaterally missing ear, existing ear’s dimensions, position, level, and prominence must be measured to predict seating and shaping of final ear prosthesis, but no such guide exists for bilateral missing ear.

Reference plane indicator, facial topographical measurements, metal ruler, and digital photography were used.

Identifying position, visibility, dimensions, and angulation of the ear. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2014;51(4):599–608. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2013.06.013 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2013.06.013JSP Results In all facial forms except square tapering, there was a tendency for subaurale to be in line with subnasale. Subnasale to gnathion distance was most dependent variable with ear length as constant predictor. Interalar distance and exocanthion to endocanthion distance correlated highly significantly to ear width. Ear visibility from front was an average 1.5 mm. Regardless of facial form, ear angulation was generally less than nose angulation.
