Because people's balance is to do with fluids in their ears, would people with larger ears have better balance??

The size of the external ear has nothing to do with the amount of fluid and efficiency of the inner ear which is safely out of sight. It is the inner ear which is important in balance
The amount of fluid in the inner ear does not decide which person has the better balance either, the situation is far more complex.

Dont think it effects their spacial balance dynamics. I don't reckon the size has anything to do with the amount of fluid behind the ear drum. After all loads of really tiny children with really tiny ears have a condition called 'glue ear' which is an excess of fluid behind the ear drum and well their ears are just tiny (as said before)....

Since the "ears" you're speaking of here is the outer and not the inner ear it would therefore not play any role in the balance mechenisms ---however it would have a tendency (not a hard fact --a tendency) to mean a somewhat better sense of hearing

no the human anatomy is not built to where the ears are the source of balance but the inside of the head fluids caontained within not the ears themselves they only serve to receive sound to capture it as some would say

No, in fact the outer ear or pinna is just to catch the sound, in order for the inner ear and the brain to process it. The organ called the cochlea is responsible for balance

No, your sense of balance comes from some organs in the INNER ear. It has nothing to do with the size, or shape, or anything at all to do with the structure of your outer ear.

Um, the fluid is in the inner ear so having Dumbo like earlobes is unrelated. btw, it isn't the cochlea or pinna... those have to do with hearing. I'm not gonna pretend to be an expert, just click the link.

Of course not the fluid is in the middle ears not the outer ear( the pinna)

Uhmm... the outer ear shape and size has NOTHING to do with the inner-ear & balance parts of it.
