Groundbreaking Ear Geometry Model

Our journal publication on the first iteration of our U.S. adult ear model appeared in International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics. This is the only parametric ear model we're aware of for the U.S. population. This high-resolution statistical model based on over 300 ears was created through analysis of medical imaging (CT) data. Unlike data gathered using ear molding and surface scanning, CT images provide sub-millimeter accuracy for the whole pinna and canal. Our model covers from the scalp to the eardrum. More than just data, the model allows exploration of population variability and direct measurement of arbitrary variables across the population. The ear model is now available for licensing in our HumanShape.app analysis and design platform. Users can define their own reference points, compute dimensions specifically related to their product designs, and download geometry for use in CAD.
