No, bones do not grow to cover the ear canal. The ear canal is a passage made of cartilage and bone that leads to the eardrum, which is crucial for hearing. The size and shape of the ear canal can vary among individuals, but bones will not grow to obstruct it.
The outer ear is the main region of the human ear that contains the ear canal. This part of the ear is responsible for collecting and funneling sound waves into the ear canal, which leads to the eardrum.
Ear canal
The ear canal is the part of the outer ear that is a tube lined with tiny hair like features. The ear canal leads into the ear from the bottom of the auricular and is what conducts the vibrations.
The fleshy part of your ear, called the pinna or auricle, helps to collect and funnel sound waves into the ear canal. It also assists in localizing the source of a sound and provides some protection to the ear canal.
The external ear is composed of two main structures: the pinna (auricle) and the external auditory canal. The pinna is the visible part of the ear that helps collect and direct sound waves towards the ear canal. The ear canal is a tube-like structure that extends from the pinna to the eardrum, and it is lined with skin and fine hairs to help trap debris and protect the ear.
The external ear refers to the entire structure outside the ear canal, including the auricle (pinna) and ear canal, while the outer ear specifically refers to the visible part of the external ear, which is the auricle.
