Microtia is a very rare condition, and its causes are still unclear. If your child was born with microtia, you should consult with a specialist like Dr. John Reinisch. https://d1nhi0zj0wurg7.cloudfront.net/uploads/medias/60831/original/Causes_of_Microtia_V3.mp4?1680560566 https://d1nhi0zj0wurg7.cloudfront.net/uploads/thumbnails/60831/medium/causes_of_microtia.jpg?1680560566 158 https://www.drjohnreinisch.com/video/player/60833-what-is-microtia What Is Microtia?

Dr. John Reinisch is one of the world's foremost microtia specialists. https://d1nhi0zj0wurg7.cloudfront.net/uploads/medias/60833/original/What_is_Microtia_V3.mp4?1680560424 https://d1nhi0zj0wurg7.cloudfront.net/uploads/thumbnails/60833/medium/what_is_microtia.jpg?1680560424 66 https://www.drjohnreinisch.com/video/player/60835-a-new-technology-3d-printed-flexible-ears A New Technology: 3D Printed Flexible Ears Dr. John Reinisch has helped develop a new approach to ear reconstruction. Cutting-edge techniques allow us to create an ear implant that contains a patient's own cartilage. These new implants will look more natural and be flexible like a normal ear. https://d1nhi0zj0wurg7.cloudfront.net/uploads/medias/60835/original/3D_Printed_Flexible_Ears_V3.mp4?1680560341 https://d1nhi0zj0wurg7.cloudfront.net/uploads/thumbnails/60835/medium/3d_printed_flexible.jpg?1680560341 101 https://www.drjohnreinisch.com/video/player/60837-common-myths-about-microtia Common Myths About Microtia Dr. John Reinisch addresses common myths about microtia, such as the mother's behavior during pregnancy can cause microtia. Others include children with bilateral microtia can hear normally and creating an ear canal does not lead to good hearing. All of these statements are false. https://d1nhi0zj0wurg7.cloudfront.net/uploads/medias/60837/original/Common_Myths_V3.mp4?1680560278 https://d1nhi0zj0wurg7.cloudfront.net/uploads/thumbnails/60837/medium/common_myths.jpg?1680560278 173 https://www.drjohnreinisch.com/video/player/60839-questions-parents-ask Questions Parents Ask Dr. John Reinisch answers: Will an ear implant placed in a child need to be replaced when the child grows older?

Because of their impaired hearing, children with bilateral microtia often develop speech impediments. After microtia surgery, children often want to abandon their hearing aids. https://d1nhi0zj0wurg7.cloudfront.net/uploads/medias/60849/original/Microtia_on_Both_Sides__Bilateral_Microtia__V3.mp4?1680560082 https://d1nhi0zj0wurg7.cloudfront.net/uploads/thumbnails/60849/medium/Screen_Shot_2021-12-08_at_2.57.05_PM.png?1680560082 229 https://www.drjohnreinisch.com/video/player/60851-improve-facial-symmetry-during-microtia-surgery Improve Facial Symmetry During Microtia Surgery Children with microtia often have asymmetrical facial features. At Reinisch Plastic Surgery, we try to address multiple asymmetries at once so that children don't have to go through multiple surgeries. During surgery to treat microtia, Dr. Reinisch can add fat to cheeks or correct nerve weaknesses in the smile muscles to improve facial symmetry. https://d1nhi0zj0wurg7.cloudfront.net/uploads/medias/60851/original/Facial_Symmetry_Hemafacial_Microtia_V5.mp4?1680560522 https://d1nhi0zj0wurg7.cloudfront.net/uploads/thumbnails/60851/medium/Screen_Shot_2022-01-05_at_9.13.46_PM.png?1680560522 113 https://www.drjohnreinisch.com/video/player/60841-understanding-the-connection-between-hearing-and-speech Understanding the Connection Between Hearing and Speech When the ears don't function properly, children can develop speech impediments, and their brains don't learn auditory processing. It's important to treat a child's hearing early so they can develop properly. Dr. John Reinisch has published research on the connection between hearing and speech. https://d1nhi0zj0wurg7.cloudfront.net/uploads/medias/60841/original/Understanding_the_Connection_Between_Hearing_and_Speech.mp4?1680560183 https://d1nhi0zj0wurg7.cloudfront.net/uploads/thumbnails/60841/medium/Screen_Shot_2021-12-09_at_8.10.29_AM.png?1680560183 279 https://www.drjohnreinisch.com/video/player/60843-a-parent-s-guide-to-understanding-children-s-hearing-loss A Parent's Guide to Understanding Children's Hearing Loss If your child has been born with one-sided microtia, you may not notice their hearing impairment until they get older. As they age, they will naturally develop habits to compensate for their poor hearing on one side. Microtia treatment with Dr. John Reinisch can give your child the ability to hear properly out of both ears. https://d1nhi0zj0wurg7.cloudfront.net/uploads/medias/60843/original/Hearing_Loss_with_Microtia__Parents_Guide_to_Microtia__V3.mp4?1680560316 https://d1nhi0zj0wurg7.cloudfront.net/uploads/thumbnails/60843/medium/Screen_Shot_2021-12-09_at_7.58.56_AM.png?1680560316 166 https://www.drjohnreinisch.com/video/player/60847-hearing-aids-and-ear-canals-treatment-options Hearing Aids and Ear Canals: Treatment Options Children with microtia typically have some degree of hearing loss. In this video, Dr. John Reinisch discusses the available options that can restore your child's hearing. There are multiple types of bone-conducting hearing aids, and there is also the option of surgically creating an ear canal and eardrum. https://d1nhi0zj0wurg7.cloudfront.net/uploads/medias/60847/original/Improving_Hearing_Loss__Types_of_Hearing_Aids__V2.mp4?1680560254 https://d1nhi0zj0wurg7.cloudfront.net/uploads/thumbnails/60847/medium/IMPROVING_HEARING_LOSS.jpg?1680560254 373
