«Breaking News» Man has the inside of his EARS removed as part of bizarre body modification trend

A young Australian man has had the inside of his ears removed to deliberately alter their cosmetic appearance and achieve a more unique look.

Body modification artist Chai Maibert shared a photo of the 'conch removal' on social media, which has since been shared by thousands and seen many users joke about the appearance of the man's ears.  

A 'conch removal', as its name indicates, involves surgically removing the concha, which is the central part of the outer ear - also known as the auricle or the pinna. 

New trend: This photo shows a young Australian man having had the concha removed as a cosmetic body modification

'Fresh #conchremoval on @charlesvbentley who traveled around the world from Australia to have this procedure performed by me at @calmbodymodification. Truly humbled!,' Mr Maibert wrote on his Instagram and Facebook.

'To get some facts straight note that this procedure doesn’t make you deaf. 

'It might impair your ability to hear the direction of sound for the first week or two until your mind has adjusted to your new ears. Hearing from behind will in fact improve. 

'Our ears doesn’t “catch” sound as it did eons of years ago when our ears were bigger hence why we have to create a bigger “ear” by cupping our hand around our ear to hear better.' 

Artist: The image was posted online by body modification practitioner Chai Maibert who owns a studio in Stockholm, Sweden

Mr Maibert runs the well-renowned CALM Body Modification studio in Stockholm and has been praised for his work locally and abroad, but the complete removal of the concha seen in his latest work was too much for some Facebook users. 

One user wrote: 'I bet his ears whistle when he rides his vegan bicycle.'

'Ah, I see you’ve ordered the attention seeking package, how may I guide your unemployment experience today?', another said.

One user added:  'On behalf of all white people I would like to apologize for Chad. He knows not what he does.'

Some Facebook users questioned Mr Maibert's claim that hearing would be improved by a conch removal, including several who stated that they were medical professionals.  

The concha is part of the outer ear, which collects sound which then travels through the auditory canal to the eardrum.

The shape of the outer ear also enables a person to tell where the sound is coming from, which would arguable be affected by a 'conch removal'. 

MailOnline has contacted CALM Body Modification for comment.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
