Abstract :Aim: We aim to obtain data for our society by comparing the auricula\\\'s right and left morphometric measurements according to sex and side. Material and Methods: Our study was conducted with the voluntary participation of 60 healthy individuals (30 female, 30 male) between the ages of 18 and 26 studying at Amasya University Health Services Vocational School. Ear measurements of individuals with no anomalies related to the outer ear and who had not undergone surgery or trauma were made using a digital carbon fiber caliper. The measurement results were stated in mm. Results: The right PAL, PAW, and MAL measurement results and the left PAL and PAW measurement results of males were statistically higher than those of females. Other parameters were not statistically different in males and females. The variables\\\' right and left side values were not statistically different in the whole group, in males and females. Conclusion: We believe that knowing the dimensions of the auricula will be important in surgical procedures and in determining sex and identity.
