| Popis: | We report a child with bilateral congenital microtia in whom cosmetic and auditory rehabilitation has been effected using in-the-ear hearing aids within prostheses overlying the rudimentary external auditory meati after canaloplasty. This novel method of auditory rehabilitation has not been reported before and is suitable in selected cases. The prostheses themselves were successfully secured using a prosthetic contact adhesive we have developed that offers excellent retention, little if any skin reaction, and high patient acceptability. |
