[UTAH, MAY 12, 2016] – Babies can be born with varying degrees of ear deformity. As such, the Craniofacial Foundation of Utah, a centet committed to promoting research and training for the improvement of prevention and correction methods to address craniofacial abnormalities, introduces its patented ‘ear well’ correction system designed to offer full correction early on.

Ear Well At A Glance

Ear deformities, while benign, may affect a child later in life. This is what the Craniofacial Foundation of Utah strictly believes in. It’s why the center suggests that various ear deformities should not be overlooked upon birth. For this, their solution is the Ear Well infant ear correction system.

The Ear Well system is designed to ensure full correction of infant ear deformities. The Craniofacial Foundation of Utah recommends that upon birth (and subsequent recognition of deformity), the Ear Well system must be applied within days. It is ideal to begin treatment before 3 months of age, with the Ear Well appliance being worn for 4 to 6 weeks for maximum effect.

What It Treats

The center’s Ear Well system corrects different types of infant ear deformity. These include Stahl’s Ear (otherwise known as Spock Ear or Elf Ear), wherein the top portion of the ear extends outward instead of curling inwards into a bend. There’s also Cryptotia, which refers to an ear that appears to be ‘buried’ beneath the skin; lidding (the top portion of the ear curls extensively inward into a form that looks like a lid), and prominent ears (abnormally protruding ears).

Can It Be Held Off?

The Craniofacial Foundation of Utah’s Ear Well is not always needed. At times, a deformed ear can improve over time. There would be instances, however, that surgery might be needed if the child reaches four or five years old. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell whether an ear will improve on its own or get even worse.

How to Pay/Warranty

The Ear Well appliance can be paid for in cash for $750. Other payment methods include Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. The center also accepts CareCredit financing, which interested parties must apply for at the CareCredit website.

As for insurance, interested parties must provide correct, complete insurance information, so the foundation can call the insurance company for authorization.
