Your nose and your ears never stop growing.

The answer to this question is YES. About 15 years ago I had to be fitted for a hearing aid. I needed the aids in both ears. However, after numerous attempts, my left ear simply would not accept an aid comfortably. The audiologist told me that in later years I could probably wear one in that ear because my ear would grow and change shape as part of the aging process. So yes, your ears do grow and change shape as you age.

Ears keep growing, very slowly though. That's why old peoples ears are quite big. It is the same for noses.
Oh, its "throughout" not "threwout"

Ears do NOT keep growing until a person is dead. They stop growing at a certain time during childhood and then the person grows into them.

I've also heard that your ears and nose keep growing throughout your life, but I've heard a doctor say they stop growing once your wisdom teeth are taken out.

I can only say that I've noticed that very old people have big ears, but I explain it by the fact that they don't hear well cause their auditory organs are weakened, so nature helped them by enlarging their ears.

no longer only the ear lobes, yet both truly one of the total ears save growing to be. So does your knows. They both aren't any further made out of bone, it truly is why it nonetheless has structure, yet is slightly squishy. Ear lobes despite the indisputable fact that, can 'advance' better by ability of wearing heavy ear earrings or weights (why someone could I dunno, despite the indisputable fact that it really is meant to be auspicious to three chinese). The cartilage and pores and skin get stretched and they prolong, so that they don't incredibly advance, yet they could develop into better, despite the indisputable fact that it really is particularly unsightly. desire this solutions your question :)

Only certain people who are genetically predisposed to it. You know, Lyndon B. Johnson, Howard Cosell, Prince Charles, and Dumbo.

I heard the same thing. I also heard that your nails and hair grow even after you're dead.
