First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a custom-made silicone ear mold works as well as the standard EarWell device for correcting ear deformities in newborns. About 134 infants between 8 days and 1 month old will be enrolled. The goal is to see if the hospital-made device is a good alternative to the commercial one.
