Intelligence
Physiognomists have long learned to determine the level of human intelligence by the position of the upper line of the ear. Yes, our ears reveal our mental abilities. Everything is very simple here: if the line of the ear is at the level of the eyebrows, this indicates high intelligence. The location at eye level indicates average mental abilities, and if the ear line is below eye level, then the person has a low level of intelligence.
Ears pressed tightly to the head also indicate a subtle mind. Lump-eared people are considered inquisitive and open-minded, although they are poor at analytical thinking. It is worth noting that geniuses have wide, sloping, thin ears. A long earlobe speaks of wisdom and spirituality (it’s not for nothing that Buddha is depicted with a long earlobe that touches his shoulder).
Just don’t run after people you know with a ruler and label them as narrow-minded and limited people. Physiognomy is not recognized as a valid scientific method, so these conclusions are just speculation.
Types of protruding ears
Prominent ears are one of the features of ear development.
It can be observed in several cases:
- Underdevelopment of the antihelix. This is one of the most common causes of protruding ears. It can either be completely absent (in this case the entire shell sticks out) or partially underdeveloped. Only the upper pole of the ear sticks out.
- Hypertrophy or deformation of the shell. It is observed if the cartilaginous structure of the ear is overdeveloped. In this case, the ear may also protrude excessively. This phenomenon is observed if the thin cartilages of the antihelical complex and the helix itself are located on the durable cartilage of the ear concha.
- Protrusion of the lobe. Sometimes a protruding lobe is the only deformity of an ear with a normal shape. It often occurs as a result of an unusual shape of the tail of the helix or if the auricle is hypertrophied.
- Macrotia (or uniform enlargement of the entire auricle), as well as excessive growth of the concha. This diagnosis is made if the size of the shell is not proportional to the facial skeleton. Such a deviation is observed, for example, with isolated congenital excessive growth of the shell or during rapid growth of half the face. Macrotia can be a sign of certain diseases, such as neurofibromatosis, and also occurs with some vascular abnormalities.
The lobe is located in the lower part of the auricle and consists of a leathery membrane filled with fatty tissue; the lobe contains small capillaries and nerve endings. Any functions related to receiving sounds
the lobe is not, but its importance in aesthetic terms is difficult to overestimate, since this part of the ear is actively used for wearing jewelry. It’s good when the auricle looks harmonious and the sizes of its individual parts correspond to each other, but this is not always the case: they may have small or attached lobes, and small ones may have very developed and disproportionately large lobes.
There are several shapes of earlobes, and they are attached to the cheek in different ways. It is considered ideal if the lobe makes up a fifth of the auricle, and its lower edge is at the level of the tip of the nose. An ear without a lobe or with an attached lobe is not a pathology
, this is rather an individual feature of a person, which most often does not spoil his appearance at all.
Cunning and longevity
If a person has ears that are pointed upward and slightly protruding (the so-called “fox ears”), he can be characterized as stubborn and cruel, and anything can be expected from him. They always act selfishly, guided solely by their own interests. These people are smart and cunning; it’s not for nothing that artists used to depict sorcerers and vampires with exactly this shape of ears.
Large ears with an elongated auricle and a thickened lobe indicate longevity. 85% of people over 90 have ears like this. It is believed that the longer the earlobe, the longer a person will live. And if he also has a red mole on his ear, he will definitely live more than a hundred years.
Ear shape and character
Now let's look at the most important thing - how the shape of the ears and the character of a person are connected in men and women. There are no significant differences by gender, but for clarity, look at the photos of different forms.
Round ears.
Individuals with such ears like to be the center of attention of others. They are passionate about a variety of things, and they also know how to interest others in their own hobbies or ideas.
Square
. If a person has square ears, he is responsible and conservative in his views. The owner of such ears is diligent in any work, values stability and values constancy in relationships.
Diamond-shaped
. The shape of the ears in the form of a diamond speaks of the selfishness of a person who, in addition, is very capricious. Such people can be difficult to understand, and sometimes they do things that do not occur to others.
Rectangular
. If you meet a person with such ears, know that he does not like empty and meaningless conversations or actions. He is used to planning everything clearly and strives to achieve perfection in everything. A person with rectangular ears does not make empty promises that he cannot keep.
Crescent shape.
Such people care about the opinions of other people, and they are also attentive to others and very tactful. They often sacrifice their own interests for the benefit of others. People in general are very kind, honest, and quickly gain the trust of others.
Triangular shape
. If the shape of the shells is triangular and widened at the top, the person is very inquisitive. He loves communication and should have many friends and acquaintances. When something doesn't go according to plan, such a person gets angry and can even become aggressive.
Triangular shape with an extension at the bottom.
Such ears are possessed by gentle and generous people who value relationships with friends and are ready to help them at any moment.
Treason and independence
If the shape of a person’s ears is flat, with the inner rim turned outward, and covered with light fluff, the person in front of the interlocutor is a preoccupied and voluptuous person. He is prone to betrayal and is distinguished by enviable inconstancy in all spheres of life.
Protruding ears indicate an independent and strong character. Such a person will never adapt to others and watch what others are doing. He will not care about public opinion, a clear conscience and his own understanding of what is good and bad - that is what he focuses his attention on. Naturally, this behavior brings a lot of problems, but it is worth it.
If a person has only his right ear protruding, then work always comes first for him - he is independent, independent and businesslike. When the left ear protrudes, we can say that the person is independent in his personal life.
What do protruding ears say about a person's character?
It is not difficult to determine a person’s character by protruding ears if he was born in the fall. As a rule, “autumn” people are erudites and intellectuals. Very obligatory, principled, fair. They experience failures painfully and suffer for a long time from the betrayal of friends.
“Autumn” men with protruding ears, and especially “November” ones, are very cunning, always use a well-trodden path to achieve a goal, and do not like to take unnecessary risks. Few people are trusted, but they never show it. They are cordial and trusting in appearance. They do not like to share their plans with others, they are secretive and diplomatic. They have an inquisitive, analytical mind. They successfully cope with the work of investigators in particularly important cases and can solve the most complex crimes. They have developed intuition. They are impossible to deceive, and they perceive lies as a personal insult.
The physiognomy of protruding ears suggests that their owners have a complex character; very harsh, irreconcilable, unyielding. Uncontrollable while intoxicated. In a fit of anger, it is better not to touch them: they harbor a grudge for a long time and find it difficult to reconcile. Brave and decisive, but not so much at the call of the soul, but because of excessive and unbridled pride. They do not want to be considered cowards and in acute situations they behave harsher than necessary.
Excellent student and diplomat
If the ears are pressed to the head so that they almost touch it, then this means an obedient and correct person. He strictly follows all laws, regulations, written and unwritten rules. You don’t need to expect unexpected and extravagant actions from him - he won’t even exceed the speed limit. This is a typical conformist, who is also a little cowardly. Although, on the other hand, he will never get into unpleasant situations, he will not have to blush for himself.
If the upper part of the ear is pressed to the head, and the lower part protrudes slightly, then the person can without a doubt be called a real diplomat. He will find an approach to any interlocutor and will be able to negotiate terms that are favorable to himself. The ability to put oneself in another person’s place during a conflict and understand it is considered a big plus.
Big ear and small
Large ears with clear contours are found in active and purposeful people. A neat and correct sink indicates logic and high intelligence; such people can be trusted.
But if the interlocutor has thick and small ears, then he is a liar and a deceiver. Very changeable, it is better not to start conversations with him about art and high matters - they are incomprehensible and uninteresting to him.
Thin and small ears, on the contrary, speak of refined taste. But if they are too thin, almost transparent, then their owner is very passionate, but at the same time nervous and hot-tempered.
Other forms
Usually absent-minded and vague people have long and narrow ears. It is difficult for them to focus on something specific and make a decision in life. People with pointed ears, like those of cats, are contradictory personalities; they find it difficult to trust people and make new acquaintances.
To determine the character by the shape of the ears, you need to pay attention to the earlobe. For example, if it is almost absent, then the person has a tough character, which he hides behind polite and gentle communication.
If the earlobe is elongated and slightly curved, this indicates the sincerity of the owner. You can always talk to him.
Health
As already mentioned, the ears can show the state of a person's health. For example, a large, regularly shaped ear indicates good heredity and good health. Small ones say the opposite.
If the ears are burning, it means that a person has problems with blood vessels, he suffers from high blood pressure, and is very irritable by nature. However, in critical situations he makes almost lightning-fast decisions. When the ears suddenly become cold, hypotension occurs. His mental activity is reduced, he feels lethargic and drowsy almost constantly.
Useful tips
If you know in what ways you can use your ears, in addition to their main purpose, then you can significantly simplify your life. For example, if a person cannot fall asleep for a long time, he needs to put his hand under his ear. The warmth emanating from the palm will give you a pleasant sensation and instantly immerse you in the kingdom of Morpheus.
To relieve stress, you need to massage the top of your earlobe. You need to act on the area where the lobe gradually turns into hard cartilage. You need to massage for 3-5 minutes before going to bed and after conflict situations.
In the old days, healers advised stroking the edges of the ears in the morning in order to wake up faster and immediately get into a working mood. Using three fingers, swipe from top to bottom very slowly. You need to spend 2-3 minutes on this, and then pull your earlobes down, to the sides and up five times. These manipulations will help activate the brain, the person will feel cheerful, confident and ready to make any decision.
Ears have attracted people's attention since ancient times. Beginning with Hippocrates and Pythagoras, philosophers tried to find a connection between a person’s character and his physiognomy. Leonardo da Vinci was at one time interested in physiognomy. And in 1658, the world saw the book of Cardan de Medici, where the types of human faces and their elements were illustrated for the first time. By collecting bits of knowledge, today you can determine who the interlocutor is by looking only at the shape of his ears.
Plastic surgery of earlobes
Since fused earlobes do not negatively affect a person’s appearance, they are not often corrected. Modern techniques in some cases make it possible to solve the problem without surgery, for example, to increase the volume of tissue in the lower part of the ear, lipolifting (injection of the patient’s own fat) and filler injections can be used.
The diagram presented below will help you understand how plastic surgery of a fused earlobe is done.
There are two correction options:
- The lobe does not require enlargement - the only task is to separate it from the cheek. In this case, an excision (wedge-shaped) of the tissue in the abutment area is made, and then the edges of the wound surface are sutured separately for the cheek and separately for the lobe.
- The lobe is almost undeveloped and requires enlargement. With this correction option, the lobe is separated with some reserve of skin: it is grabbed into the fold and pulled back, and then cut along the grip line. The resulting curved flap is sutured from the back, forming a lobe.
Attention!
This operation is performed on patients at least seven years old; local anesthesia is sufficient; The stitches are removed on the seventh day.
