How to treat Steel Ear, Spock Ear, Pointed Ear or Vulcan Ear
SCROLL
Steel ear is characterized by a deformity of the upper parts of the pinna with a flattened ear rim and malformed cartilage. This gives the upper end of the ear a pointed appearance, which is why this deformity is sometimes called pointed ear, elf ear, Vulcan ear, or Spock ear (in reference to the television series Star Trek). The cause of this deformity is unknown. In any case, steel ear occurs when, in addition to the two cartilaginous folds or crus that form the upper part of the ear, there is an additional cartilaginous fold in the horizontal direction. This extends to the helical rim (outer edge), which can cause the helix (upper part of the ear) to unfold and form a pointed shape.
Regarding the cause of the appearance of the extra cartilage, most experts agree that it is due to abnormal use of an intrinsic outer ear muscle. Steel ear can vary widely in severity. While functionality or hearing is not affected, impaired self-esteem and bullying can lead to psychological problems.
