RESUMEN
Anthropometric measurements of the human ear auricle have been done focusing on the length, width, insertion and inclination of the auricle. Four hundred subjects of both genders aged from one month to 55 years old were included in this study. The averages of length, width, insertion and inclination were measured in each age group, recorded and analyzed. It was found that the rate of growth in length, insertion, width and inclination was 45, 30, 24 and 24% successively in the age period from newborn up to less than nine years age. In the next age periods from nine years to less than 15 years, the rate of growth was 28, 12, 8 and 2.5% as regards the width, length, insertion and inclination. After the age of 15 years, the growth of the auricle was minimal
