Some hearing related facts we bet you never knew...

28/10/2011

  • The malleus, incus and stapes (otherwise known as the hammer, anvil and stirrup) are the smallest bones in the human body and are full size at birth. All three together could fit on a penny.
  • The whole area of the middle ear is no bigger than an M&M.
  • The cochlea (inner ear) is about the size of a pencil eraser.
  • The ear never stops working, even when people are asleep. The ear continues to hear sounds, but the brain shuts them out.
  • Ears are self-cleaning. Pores in the ear canal produce cerumen, or ear wax, and tiny hairs, called cilia, push the wax out of the ear.
