Nonsurgical Correction of Congenital Ear Deformities: The Relationship Between Age of Presentation and Regression

Conclusions: Regression rates are higher in children older than 3 weeks although not statistically significant. Most regressions were partial and ear molding still significantly corrected most deformities. We suggest that ear molding be offered past 3 weeks of age, with maximum age being dependent on deformity type, as it still leads to high parental satisfaction.
