Comparison of newborn and adult ears

After Fowler EP Jr. (1947): Medicine of the ear, 2nd ed., T. Nelson, New York)

Eardrum becomes more vertical with age. Or does it?

Fowler (1947): A large group led by Schwalbe believed that the newborn drum ‘slants much more than in adults’ but a group led by Siebenmann did not agree.

Siebenmann (1897, p. 265): The angle is only slightly less in newborns, and Schwalbe’s observation that it is almost horizontal was based on a deception.
