Each part of our body has a distinct purpose, with each fulfilling a crucial and essential role. However, the precise function of ear hair has raised curiosity. Several theories attempt to explain the presence of hair in our ears. Its primary purpose appears to be to protect our inner ear, specifically the eardrum, against bacteria. Typically, ear hair can be found on the tragus of the ear, the ear canal, the antitragus, the earlobe, and the helix.
Based on the findings of scientist David Liebovitz, the existence or nonexistence of specific hormones, like testosterone, can have a notable impact on the follicles responsible for hair growth. These hormones frequently impede the growth of hair in certain areas of the body, specifically the ears, nose, and eyebrows. Additionally, they can cause the hair to become rougher and thicker with age.
