Experts suggest it’s frequently tied to hormonal fluctuations, notably elevated testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels. This tends to occur more in older men and may be shaped by genetic factors. Though typically benign, excessive ear hair can be a cosmetic issue, and in rare instances, it might point to underlying endocrine conditions.
