Explanation:
What are protruding ears?
We are all built differently and even our own faces are not symmetrical.
Some peoples ears stick out more than normal – a condition sometimes called ‘bat ears’ – and this can be a source of great misery for children affected in this way.
Although protruding ears do not cause any actual physical problems, they can cause self-consciousness and teasing.
About 1 to 2 per cent of people in the UK believe their ears stick out too much, and because ears are one of the first body parts to reach full size they can be more noticeable in children.
