N2 - With the increased demand of auricular measurements for application in ergonomics, clinical diagnosis and identity recognition, the need for comprehensive and new auricular measurements is rising. Similarly, the design forms of ear-related wearable products vary with new functions. Ergonomic design refers to designing for humans; accordingly, designing ear-related wearable products requires anthropometric characteristics of human ears. However, despite the large need, anthropometric characteristics of the Chinese population is lacking. Thus, most ear-related product manufacturers in China make their products following different standards, which can lead to poor fit, discomfort and poor performance of ear-related products. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to provide summarized anthropometric characteristics about Chinese auricles and determine distinct factors which were associated with the variation of auricular shape.
