Microtia is a congenital condition characterized by underdeveloped or absent ear structures, typically affecting one or both ears.
It can vary in severity and often results in hearing impairment, as the ear's normal functions are compromised. Microtia can have significant physical and emotional impacts on individuals. Treatments range from hearing aids to reconstructive surgery, with the latter aiming to create a more natural ear structure, restoring hearing and enhancing facial symmetry. Microtia presents unique challenges but has promising solutions for those affected, allowing them to lead fulfilling lives.
