External ear resonance was measured in elderly people using a probe-tube microphone system. Resonance frequency, amplitude, and bandwidth as well as ear canal volume were compared across age groups and genders. No significant age group trends were observed in external ear resonant frequency. Also, the amplitude and bandwidth of the resonance peaks across ages were not significantly different. For the gender effect, the mean external ear resonant frequencies are generally higher for females than for males in all age groups, but the differences are not statistically significant. The mean amplitudes of the resonant frequency are larger for men than for women. But the difference is also small. For the ear canal volume, no significant age trend was found. However, the mean ear canal volume was significantly larger for males than for females.
