Ear Anomalies Program, Delaware Valley
Care for Kids With Ear Differences
The ear anomalies team at 消消消消消消消娼瞳 Childrens Hospital, Delaware helps kids with ear differences. Our goal is to start care early, so children have the best chance to grow and develop along with their peers.
Our team includes experts in pediatric otolaryngology (ENT), plastic surgery, audiology and psychology. We work closely with your childs primary care doctor and other specialists they may see.
We arrange everything your child needs, and plan treatment as a team. You can see us on the same day, if possible. This team approach can mean treatment starts sooner, for better results.
消消消消消消消娼瞳 Childrens offers advanced nonsurgical and surgical treatment options for ear anomalies. As your child grows, we watch for problems with hearing, language and development. We care for all your childs needs, physically and emotionally.
Services We Offer
We offer full pediatric ear differences services, which may vary depending on the condition and location. Reconstruction surgery may include techniques using:
- the childs own cartilage (a flexible, rubbery substance in the joints)
- implants (grafting a childs skin over a plastic mold)
- a prosthetic (an artificial extension that replaces a missing body part)
We also provide hearing evaluations and options to help with hearing loss, including hearing aids and devices
"We are so fortunate that our son is cared for by the most knowledgeable, talented and loving physicians we could ever hope for.
