Why are your ear lobes so sensitive?

Question

Yesterday I banged my ear off a door. I kicked it open it bounced off something behind it and came back and slapped me on the lug. Now it didn't hit me that hard but I was nearly crying with the pain and today its still a little sore to the touch. There doesn't appear to be any bruising either.

Answer 1

Ouch!! Yup just more nerve endings in your head generally( what with the brain there and all!lol)

Be more careful with yourself!!

Answer 2

It varies from person to person.

Answer 3

the ear lobe has a very high concentration of nerve endings in it - making it more receptive to pain.
