Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Microtia is often associated with hearing loss and patients typically
require treatment for hearing impairment and surgical ear reconstruction. The
occurrence of microtia is of public health importance in part due to the psychosocial
sequelae, including the stigma associated with malformations of the ear and the burden
of undergoing multiple surgeries
In addition, greater than 90% of individuals with microtia experience conductive hearing
loss on the affected side. Although children with microtia-anotia are at a greater risk of
delayed language development and attention deficit disorders.
METHODS: Our study has a 173 childrens from the UB city and countryside. 23 children
has a bilateral microtia and anotia. 6 patient wearing BAHA soft band from 6 months
age. 150 patients have an unilateral microtia. Microtia was found more commonly in
males, unilateral and right sided. Even children with bilateral microtia may have wearing
BAHA soft band before 6 months age.
RESULTS: External ear malformations are more commonly found in males. Sex ratio 2:1.
From other studies right ear malformations are more common in male children. In our
study children who have bilateral ear abnormalities wearing BAHA softband and
language therapy from 6 months age to able to have normal language development.
Children who had surgical treatment and using hearing aid can have normal social life
and increased quality of life.
CONCLUSION: Early screening in children who have external ear malformation,
monitoring language development, wearing BAHA softband from 2 months age who
