Blood flowing through a large, thin ear is close to the outside air and can lose heat rapidly to the air. The larger the ear, the larger the heat loss.

How might ear size keep an arctic fox from losing too much body heat?
how might ear size keep an artic fox losing too much body heat
Is hearing loss a mental or physical affect?
Physical because the ear is damaged in some form.
Explain animal adaptations in terms of energy transfer for example relative ear size of animals in cold and warm climates?
Warm-blooded animals tend to loose more heat from extremities (a basic physical thing, more surface area for the volume leads to higher heat loss), so it's only logical that in colder climates, smaller extremities where heat loss will be less, will be favoured over extremities with a larger surface area. The opposite is also true. Larger extremities are better for more heat loss. Elephants fan their ears, for instance.
How does Achondroplasia affect children?
achondroplasia have a very high risk of serious and repeated middle ear infections, which can result in hearing loss. The disease does not affect either mental capacity, or reproductive ability.
What is peripheral hearing loss?

What do loud sounds do to the structure of the ear to cause hearing loss?
they burst the ear drum that's what causes hearing loss
What is one of the possible causes of conduction deafness?
A conductive hearing loss occurs when the outer or middle ear does not efficiently transfer sound to the inner ear. In the outer ear common causes include ear wax and foreign objects in the ear canal.conductive hearing loss is caused by damage to the bones of the ear,or to the tymanic membrane(eardrum),or to the outer ear. Nerve damage is the only other kind of hearing loss you can have and that is caused by damage to the nerves in the cochlea..I was born without eardrums and have a conductive loss
Why hearing loss occurs?
Hearing loss occurs when the inner ear is damaged by excessive, loud noise (acute or over a period of time), toxins are introduced to the ear, illness or disease of the ear or that affects or INFECTS the ear, or when a trauma occurs (ruptured ear drum from a foreign object inserted into the ear, for example) . Hearing loss can also occur in infancy, for known or unknown reasons.
If you have sharp pain in your ear and some hearing loss is this a middle ear infection?
yes
Where do you put the weight loss bead on the ear?
It goes behind the ear on the vagus nerve.
What is the most common ear problem Hearing loss Middle ear infection Deafness Tinnitus?
Middle Ear infection
How does the size of a fox's ear help it maintain body temperature?
The larger their ear is, the more heat will escape their body and they'll become cooler. A desert fox lives in hot climates, so it has large ears. An arctic fox has small ears, so it would have less heat escaping its body.
