The EarWell™ Infant Ear Correction System has been specifically designed for infant ear molding and can be applied in infants up to 6 weeks of age. We recommend it as the most effective and customisable device for infant ear molding.
EarWell™ must be applied early in a child’s life. The optimum is less than 3 weeks of age and the earlier the better. EarWell has successfully corrected thousands of baby ears worldwide with very few failures. EarWell™ is safe, tested, pain-free AND it works. The EarWell™ procedure is completed in just minutes, right in your doctor’s office. After 4-6 weeks, the ears will be more normally shaped.

“While the more severe hypoplastic malformations (microtia and anotia) require complex reconstructive surgical correction, some of the lesser forms of hypoplasia (grade I and IIa constriction and cryptotia) along with the deformational anomalies (Stahl’s ear and prominent ear) may if addressed early, lend themselves to nonoperative management avoiding the accompanying risk of surgery and anaesthesia”.
