Abstract
The incidence rate of ear abnormalities in neonates is between 15 and 50%. [1]. Mental anguish might result from an odd auricular appearance [2]. Evidence suggests that children born with ear abnormalities are more likely to struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship issues [3]. As a result, correcting ear abnormalities is crucial for the emotional well-being of kids [3, 4].
