A member asked:
Does nose size have in crease your sense of smell? how about your ears?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Your sense of smell is dependent on your olfactory nerves, that is the nerves for smell and the adequate flow of the scent through your nose to the nerve endings. The nerve endings are at the roof of your nose. This is not dependent on the size of your nose.
