EarWell™ Infant Ear Correction
Non-surgical ear molding system for newborns with congenital ear deformities
The EarWell™ System represents a revolutionary approach to treating infant ear deformities without surgery. This innovative, non-invasive treatment corrects ear shape abnormalities in newborns during the critical early weeks when ear cartilage is most moldable.
Understanding Infant Ear Deformities
Approximately 30% of newborns are born with some form of ear deformity, ranging from mild shape irregularities to more pronounced structural abnormalities. These conditions can affect both the appearance and, in some cases, the function of the ear.
Common ear deformities include prominent ears, constricted ears, Stahl's ear, cryptotia, and helical rim abnormalities. Without early intervention, many of these conditions require surgical correction later in childhood.
The EarWell™ Advantage
Non-surgical treatment approach
Most effective when started within the first 3 weeks of life
Utilizes the natural malleability of newborn ear cartilage
Custom-fitted system for optimal comfort and results
Significantly reduces the need for future surgical correction
Minimal discomfort for the infant

Critical Timing Window
The success of the EarWell™ System depends heavily on timing. Newborn ear cartilage contains high levels of estrogen, making it exceptionally pliable during the first few weeks of life. This natural malleability decreases significantly after 6-8 weeks, making early intervention essential for optimal results.
