Protective function: Hair inside the ear canal works together with earwax to block dust, dirt, and debris from reaching the eardrum.
\nSensory function: Deep within the ear, tiny hair-like cells help detect movement of fluid in the inner ear. These microscopic hairs are essential for hearing and maintaining balance.
\nEvolutionary remnants: Like most body hair, ear hair is a leftover evolutionary trait that has diminished in importance but still persists.
\nEven before birth, humans develop soft, fine hair known as lanugo, which covers the entire body\u2014including the ears. This usually disappears before or shortly after birth, but some babies (especially those born prematurely) retain it for a while.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
