“After welcoming my baby boy into the world it became apparent he had inherited my ears but only on one side. I have gone through corrective surgery twice on mine and still to this day I’m very self-conscious of them. Many family members said there was nothing wrong with his ear, calling it cute and saying I was being silly. I obviously thought he was perfect in every way but deep down knew that one day he may be bullied for his ear or feel self-conscious just like I do, and I did not want this nor want him to have to have surgery.
When he was 10 weeks old I came across EarBuddies online when searching for solutions to help protruding ears in babies. I felt I had left it too late but after reading some of the reviews I ordered straight away. I thought my husband may be against it, but after explaining what was involved and him knowing how much I hate my ears, he was more than happy to ‘give it a go’.

After EarBuddies
It’s so simple to fit and my little boy never even seemed to know it was there! I’m so pleased with the outcome. I wish more GPs and HVs knew about this to help others out when their babies are younger! Every healthcare professional I came across in the period he had his tapes on knew nothing about ear splints.
To anyone thinking about it, I 100% recommend these as it is harmless, pain free and for such a short period of their lives.”
