Wrestling

• The only visible part is the auricle – the seashell shaped structure made of bendy cartilage, covered in skin.
• A medical ear examination usually involves an inspection of the canal, using an instrument called an otoscope.
• But the auricle – also known as the external ear – can also tell tales about your health, family traits and even whether you play high contact sports.

Ear genetics

• Earlobes feel different to the rest of the ear.
• But the appearance of the earlobe can vary according to your genes – they’re either free (with a dangly bit) or attached (attached directly to the head).
• Attached lobes were understood to come from recessive alleles, which means that you must inherit them from both parents.

Gout and tophi

• These can appear as little lumps called tophi, that often form in the tissue around joints, but also in the ears.
• Tophi are firm and look like pebbles, which is where they get their name from (the singular
  tophus is Latin for stone).
• Tophi usually form over long periods of time, and are only ever associated with gout.

Cauliflower ear

• Boxer Mike Tyson even bit off a section of opponent Evander Holyfield’s ear during a match, for instance.
• One of the most unmistakable traumatic conditions is cauliflower ear, also known as wrestler’s ear or boxer’s ear.
• The body’s response is to produce a mass of lumpy connective tissue – and a “cauliflower” ear forms.
• Cauliflower ears can be prevented by avoiding sports most associated with the condition, such as rugby, wrestling and martial arts.
