Summary

Microtia is a relatively rare birth defect that causes small, misshapen or missing structures of the ear. It can occur on one or both sides of the head. Most children with microtia experience only partial hearing loss, since their inner ears are usually unaffected. The greatest challenge in treating microtia is reconstructing the malformed or missing ear(s), often done to improve physical appearance, facilitate the use of eyewear, increase self-esteem and enhance quality of life. This requires specialized care from a multidisciplinary team of plastic surgeons, audiologists (hearing specialists), otolaryngologists (also known as "ear, nose and throat doctors") and other experts.
