EarWell

EarWell is a medical device that gently, over the course of six weeks or so, can re-shape a newborns ear so it looks like a normally developed ear.

The cost of your EarWell procedure is variable, depending on the extent of treatment and whether one or both ears need to be treated. There are some cases where insurance will cover the cost for EarWell. We can check with your insurance to see if we can get authorization.

Most EarWell treatments only take six weeks with once-weekly appointments to achieve highly satisfying results.

Ear shape abnormalities are caused by abnormal in-utero circumstances, such as pressure on one or both ears as the soft cartilage develops into the characteristic folds and shapes of a normal ear.

If youre concerned about the shape or protrusion of your newborns ear, you may be eligible for EarWell, even if the ear is fully developed and could grow into a normal-looking ear on its own.

Infants past 5 months of age are likely not candidates for an EarWell procedure, as the cartilage by this point has hardened to a degree at which it cant be molded anymore.

EarWell is placed around the infants ear and small soft retractors are then positioned to gently pull or push the ear toward a more normal-looking formation.

EarWell can be performed nearly anytime between birth and five months of age. Ideally, the treatment is done as close to birth as possible within the first few weeks.
