Prolonged inflammation can eventually result in deteriorated ear cartilage (often described as “ cauliflower ear ” or “floppy ear”), and even partial or total loss of hearing.
A cauliflower ear deformity. Inflammation of the cartilage of the ear is a specific symptom of the disease and affects most people.

In some cases the lower lobe is connected to the side of the face. Since the earlobe does not contain ...
Thickened earlobes-conductive deafness syndrome, also known as Escher-Hirt syndrome, or Schweitzer Kemink Graham syndrome, [1] is a rare genetic disorder which is characterized by ear and jaw abnormalities associated with progressive hearing loss. [2] Two families worldwide have been described with the disorder. [3]
Low-set ears are defined as the outer ears being positioned two or more standard deviations lower than the population average. [1] Clinically, if the point at which the helix (curved upper part) of the outer ear meets the cranium is at or below the line connecting the inner canthi of eyes (the bicanthal plane), the ears are considered low set ...
