children with ear deformities

Children with ear deformities have ears that are shaped, positioned, or developed differently than typical ears. These differences can range from minor variations to more noticeable malformations, such as misshapen ears or ears that are pinched or rotated. Often, these deformities are congenital, meaning present at birth, and may have no health impact but can affect appearance and, in some cases, hearing. Many deformities can be corrected or improved through non-surgical methods during early childhood or with surgery later on. Early evaluation by specialists helps determine the best approach for treatment and long-term outcomes.
