An Effective and Gentle Technique to Correct Infant Ear Deformities.
Right after birth, a baby’s ear cartilage is extremely soft and flexible. This is due to a maternal hormone called estrogen, which remains in your baby’s body for a short period of time after delivery.2,8 The presence of estrogen keeps the cartilage pliable and flexible, providing a unique opportunity to reshape the ear deformity.
This window of opportunity typically lasts from birth to 12 weeks, after which estrogen levels decrease, and the cartilage begins to harden, solidifying the ear’s shape. Acting within this time frame ensures the best and most lasting results.1,4
If you notice your baby’s ears appear different, it’s important to have them evaluated by a healthcare provider as soon as possible–ideally within the first few days after birth. Early action makes treatment faster, easier, and more effective.

How Does Ear Molding with EarGear Work?
Ear molding with EarGear applies gentle pressure to your baby’s ear cartilage using soft, molded pieces. These pieces are custom fitted by a healthcare provider to gently reshape the ear over a period of approximately 6 weeks. As the cartilage hardens, the ear gradually takes on the desired shape.
The treatment is non-invasive and does not require any surgery or medication. You will work closely with your doctor to monitor your baby’s progress, ensuring optimal results.

Why Early Action is Critical
The first few weeks of life provide a brief window to correct ear deformities without surgery. After this period, the cartilage hardens, and non-surgical options may no longer be viable.
If you suspect an ear deformity, don’t wait—early intervention leads to the best outcomes.
