Why do some mens ears get larger the older they get?

Answer 1

Your ears and nose don't stop growing. The older you get the bigger they are.

Answer 2

Actually, ALL men's ears do, but some are more noticeable.

Your ears & nose are the only body parts that keep growing throughout your whole life.
Thats why very old men always have big noses and ears!

Answer 3

Because when you get older the probability is your eyesight will deteriorate, and you will have to wear glasses, AND what holds glasses onto your face---- correct, your nose and ears, SO nature compensates and gives you a larger holding area. (probably) P.S. This is a new theory on ear/nose growth, the weaker your eyesight the more your nose and ears grow. (allegedly)

Answer 4

Ears get bigger because they simply need to. Hearing is one of the senses which fails with age, the other major one is sight; our eyes cannot grow as they have a boundary made of bone. Ears, however, are able to continue to grow, and the effect of this is improved amplification of sound, but this is limited.

Answer 5
