For children with congenital microtia, wearing artificial ears (false ears) is a common method to improve their appearance. Under normal circumstances, the doctor will recommend wearing artificial ears after the child's ear shape is basically finalized, usually between 6- 12 years old. Because at this age, the child's skull is already hard and the outline of the ear is basically formed. Wearing a prosthetic ear at this time will not have a great impact on the ear.

Before the child reaches the right age, parents can take some measures to protect the child's ears, such as keeping them clean and dry to avoid trauma. At the same time, you can consult a professional doctor or restorer to find out whether the child is suitable to wear a prosthetic ear and when it is appropriate to start wearing it.

It is worth noting that whether to wear a prosthetic ear needs to be decided according to the specific situation of the child, including the age of the child, the development of the ear and the wishes of the parents. Therefore, it is recommended to carry out it under the guidance of a professional doctor to ensure the health and safety of children. If the child has reached the right age, you can consider consulting a professional restorer to customize the appropriate ear repair according to the child's specific situation.
