Question
The infant’s right ear lacks an ear hole and has an abnormal ear lobe, while the left ear looks normal. There is no reaction when using noise-making toys. Is it possible to undergo treatment or correction? Could this condition be indicative of epilepsy?
Answer
Hello, the situation the child is facing may be symptoms of congenital external ear deformity. It is recommended to seek a professional otorhinolaryngologist for a detailed examination to assess the abnormalities in the development of the middle and inner ear. In some cases, surgery may be required to stabilize hearing and to reconstruct the ear lobe and external auditory canal. What were the results of the left ear’s hearing screening at birth? Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy body and beautiful life.
