EarWell®
When ear deformity is identified and addressed within 2 weeks of birth, the ear cartilage is still pliable and can be easily shaped. The EarWell® Infant Ear Correction System has been used globally on over 100,000 infants with misshapen ears. The EarWell® Infant Ear Correction System is the first and most advanced nonsurgical infant ear deformity molding device. The EarWell® Infant Ear Correction System capitalizes on the ear’s pliability at birth by using a series of interlocking molds which shape the ear with gentle pressure while it is soft, and secure it in place as the cartilage hardens. The result is a beautifully shaped ear by the time the infant is approximately 2 months old.
Who Needs to Look Into the EarWell® Procedure?
Up to one-third of babies can have misshapen or deformed ears at birth. The optimal time to begin shaping the ears, due to the ear cartilage still being pliable, is within the first 5-7 days after birth. If started within this optimal time frame, the success rate is 93%. If started 3 weeks after birth, success drops to 50%, illustrating the importance of early detection.
If not detected early, surgery is the only other option when the child is older.
