Christina & her daughter Ava

February 12, 2024

“Our baby Ava was born with a very noticeable Stick-Out Ear on one side. Thinking that we were on top of things, we brought her to see an ENT at 8 weeks old. The doctor diagnosed it as constricted “cup” ear and told us it would get much worse over time. He also told us that it was too late to intervene because the cartilage had already hardened. I left feeling totally deflated and cried on the way home because he mentioned that we could just “come back for surgery when she turned 5 yrs old”. I later came across EarBuddies online and got started when Ava was 3.5 months old. Once it was in place, I found myself frequently checking the EarBuddies Instagram to find stories of success. Seeing other people’s improvement kept me hopeful during the 12 weeks of her wearing it. Ava has had the EarBuddies off for 3 weeks now (photo included) and we are so grateful for the results! I just really hope we can inspire more families who are going through something similar. Thank you EarBuddies!”
