Is this normal?


Question:
The opening in my left ear is big enough to easily put a cotton swab in it, but the one in my right ear is a lot smaller. Is this normal?

Answers:
No two sides of our body are exactly alike..hands, arms feet.therefore I am to assume that the opening in your ear canal would not be any different...your outer ear's purpose is to channel sound into the middle ear.

if you are having difficulty hearing from that side then there is some kind of a blockage (pimples, an abscess, etc.,) and or if you are experiencing some kind of pain

I recommend that you consult with your primary physician and or a specialist (ENT -Ear,Nose and Throat doctor)...he or she will be able to determine if there is a significant size difference and why.

Best of luck to you.
Yes, its perfectly normal. Your body aswell as everyone elses is not perfectly symmetrical.
Yea. Everyone has abnormalities with their bodies that they arent happy with. Unless this is causing pain or you cant hear well out of that ear or something, I wouldnt worry about it. Little things like that are perfectly normal.
i think you should as a doctor cause if it is serious they can help ASAP. But i think it is normal
Is your ear swollen or sore to touch.Grab your ear lobe and wiggle it if it is sore you may have an ear infection. But generally everything on the body that have 2 parts are different sizes. One eye is bigger than the other, feet, hands, etc.
well, if there is no swelling or pain. them that is very normal.
If observe carefully, you'll notice that your left half of your body and your right half, they don't look exactly a like? they are slightly different.
Has it always been this way? If there was anything abnormal I'm sure your doctor would have told you by now.
i have the same problem. it's a lot easier to clean my left ear than my right ear. sometimes, it's even a li'l painful cleaning my right ear, but i have no problem with the left. dunno if it's normal though. sorry.
