Building and Testing a Statistical Shape Model of the Human Ear Canal [PDF]
, 2002 . Today the design of custom in-the-ear hearing aids is based on personal experience and skills and not on a systematic description of the variation of the shape of the ear canal. In this paper it is described how a dense surface point distribution model

Compensating for oblique ear-probe insertions in ear-canal reflectance measurements.
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2019 Measurements of the ear-canal reflectance using an ear probe require estimating the characteristic impedance of the ear canal in situ. However, an oblique insertion of the ear probe into a uniform waveguide prevents accurately estimating its ...

EarGate: gait-based user identification with in-ear microphones [PDF]
ACM/IEEE International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking, 2021 Human gait is a widely used biometric trait for user identification and recognition. Given the wide-spreading, steady diffusion of ear-worn wearables (Earables) as the new frontier of wearable devices, we investigate the feasibility of earable-based gait

Pleomorphic adenoma presenting with conductive hearing loss in the ear canal: a case report and review of the literature [PDF]
, 2014 INTRODUCTION: Pleomorphic adenoma accounts for 65 percent of all salivary gland tumors. It has been identified in several anatomical regions, but pleomorphic adenoma arising in the ear canal, first described in 1951, is extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION:

Ewing Sarcoma of the External Ear Canal [PDF]
Case Reports in Otolaryngology, 2016 Background.Ewing sarcoma (ES) is a high-grade malignant tumor that has skeletal and extraskeletal forms and consists of small round cells. In the head and neck region, reported localization of extraskeletal ES includes the larynx, thyroid gland, submandibular gland, nasal fossa, pharynx, skin, and parotid gland, but not the external ear canal.Methods ...
