Byrd and his colleagues believed that there had to be an easier way to treat ear deformities, which can lead to many children <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.earwells.com\/products\/\" target=\"_blank\">experiencing anxiety due to teasing or low self-esteem<\/a>. Ear deformities are common amongst infants and will likely not result on their own. The EarWell<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> procedure has a 90% success rate so long as treatment starts early enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How EarWell<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many common ear deformities are found within two weeks of birth, which is when a child\u2019s ear cartilage is still moldable due to the amount of maternal estrogen in the baby\u2019s system. Once doctors identify any issues, the EarWell<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> system can reshape an infant\u2019s ear to a more correct position over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What results are naturally-shaped ears by the time the child is 2 months old. EarWell<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> may even prevent the need for otoplasty in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Your Patient Need Treatment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At least 33% of Infants <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.earwellcenters.com\/moms-newborn-checklist\/\" target=\"_blank\">are born with misshapen ears<\/a>. If you encounter an infant patient who has a peculiar ear shape, you can then make a proper referral if additional intervention is needed.
