Ear of the Month Award

"Our son's name is Connor Spears and we are from Dayton, OH. Our son's ear was completely folded (like a taco) when he was born which caused the ear to not develop normally by the fold in his ear being shaped upward. We were told it would straighten itself out by the time we left the hospital. As you can see it did not do that.

After seeing an ENT specialist we were told nothing could be done to fix the ‘problem' except surgery at around 5 years old. We asked the Doctor about this process [EarBuddies] and he said there is no way it would work. The first picture is days after he was born. The second picture is from March 1st. The third picture is from today, March 11. We started using EarBuddies on March 3. Thank you!

He fitted the EarBuddies and immediately managed to shape the ear to a normal shape. We felt very reassured by Mr Gault who said we would have a full cure to her problem within a few weeks. Straight away we could see a difference in the ear shape as soon as the ear buddy was fitted. She was not phased or bothered at all by the ear buddy being fitted or when worn. We found the ear buddy easy to fit at home. She now has a normal ear and we couldn’t be happier for her. Although she was perfect to us and we wouldn’t change her, I couldn't deprive her of an opportunity for her ear to be corrected so easily and quickly without the need for surgery or pain.

This is such a great product and I really strongly believe it should be more widely publicised by midwives and doctors if a deformity is spotted at birth. I would really like to extend my thanks to Mr Gault for such great results. I think there should be so much more awareness of this product as it is such a low cost, pain free way to easily and quickly solve issues with babies ears."

"Our son was born on December 20, 2018. I noticed that his ears looked different to mine and his Father's. I began to do some research online and discovered that he had Stahl’s Ear affecting both of his ears. I first took my son to the Pediatrician who then said that the condition would fix itself with time, or if I was overly concerned, he would refer our son to a plastic surgeon.

I began to do further research on Stahl’s Ear and came across EarBuddies online. We ordered EarBuddies and began the splinting process when Griffin was about 2 weeks old. We continued with the splinting for three weeks. We couldn’t be happier with the results. I would definitely recommend EarBuddies and I wish that medical providers here in the U.S. would recommend splinting instead of surgery."

"Our little boy Alessandro was born in March 2018 and, after about three months, we noticed that his ears had started to drift further and further out. By the time he was 5 months, they were noticeably protruding and we found that they would fold over on themselves when we were holding him in a cradle position, putting a hat on him or putting him into his car seat.

Although our son is the most beautiful thing in the world to us, we were both conscious of the possibility of him being teased for having 'stick out ears'. I had a prominent squint as a child and know first hand how an aesthetic problem can impact on self-esteem and lead to bullying. So we were intrigued when my sister (a GP) told us that she had read about a way of bringing Alessandro's ears back in without the need for surgery.

After doing our research and going through lots of parent testimonials on the EarBuddies website we decided to the plunge and we are so glad we did! As you can see from the before and after progress photos attached, the splints have made a huge difference to Alessandro's ears.

Although we were initially worried that he might be too old for the splints to be effective, we've found the results really impressive. We've even managed to keep up splinting while Alessandro went through teething (and the ear pulling that goes with it!). Although we had a few occasions on which he ripped the tapes off in his sleep, with a little perseverance and taking our time we've manage to stick at it and achieve brilliant results.

Now Alessandro has finished his EarBuddies journey, his ears are looking fantastic. We’ve had so many positive comments about what a huge difference it’s made and couldn’t be more pleased. To any parents who aren’t sure yet, we’d say do take the plunge - even with an older baby it doesn’t take long to master applying and removing the splints and the results are great. Alessandro hasn’t been in pain or bothered at all by the splints and we think he’ll be very happy with the look of his ears in the future. Thank you EarBuddies!"

Day 12, due to our son being quite a sweaty baby the tape had lifted therefore it was time to remove and start again. This was quite tricky and we found his head, behind the ear was a little red so we cleaned the area, applied the cream as directed and left it for 4 days before starting again. However, we could already see the difference in the ear from when we had begun using the EarBuddies 2 weeks ago.

Day 17, we reapplied the splint and taped back the ear again. Our son was not bothered by it at all. Obviously, throughout this whole period people were constantly asking us what was wrong with his ear and when we explained what it was and what it was doing, people looked confused or gave a look as though it would never work.

Day 30 came along and it was time to refresh the tape. We removed the plasters and splint to clean the ear and were completely surprised to see how well the EarBuddies had continued to work. Looking back at the before picture and the post 2 weeks picture we were absolutely amazed! We decided from here we were happy with the result so chose to end the EarBuddies treatment there. Our son was only breast fed up until he was 4 weeks old, and he has been formula fed since. We also began weaning at 4 months so he was pretty much fully fledged on solids when we began using the EarBuddies.

I would highly recommend this product. It needs to be marketed more across mothers / mothers-to-be websites, magazines, groups and social media. I wish I had known about EarBuddies when our son was born however our son had the EarBuddy in for less than 30 days in total from 8 months old and we are extremely happy with the outcome. I couldn't rate EarBuddies highly enough! Thank you. I will forever be promoting your amazing product!"

"I would like to share my experience with you. My baby boy was born with a Stahl's Bar on his left ear, which runs in our family. We heard about EarBuddies through our midwife and ordered when our son was 3 days old. 3 days later we received the order and started using them right away. The results were very good after 2 weeks, when we removed the EarBuddies for our baby's photo shoot. We fitted again 1 day later as the advice is to continue for 3 to 4 weeks.

We stopped using EarBuddies after 3 to 4 weeks, and we are very satisfied with the results. He is now 6 months old and it still looks very nice. We’ve been recommending EarBuddies to our friends and family, and also to other parents. It is very easy to use, and is a small effort for very good results for the rest of their lives. And you help your kids avoid being bullied or having scary surgery in the future. We are very satisfied, thanks!"

Emel also kindly provided his story in Dutch:

"Onze zoontje werd geboren met stahl s oor eenzijdig. Dit komt vaker in de familie. We hebben via onze verloskundige gehoord van earbuddies en hebben dit gelijk besteld toen onze zoontje 3 dagen oud was. 3 dagen later hebben we het ontvangen en zijn we gelijk begonnen met afplakken. Het effect hiervan was zeer goed te zijn na 2 weken. Toen hebben we de verband eraf gehaald voor de babyshoot en na 1 dag weer geplakt omdat het advies is om dit 3 tot 4 weken voort te zetten.Na 3 tot 4 weken zijn we gestopt met het gebruik van de earbuddies en we zijn er zeer tevreden over. Hij is nu 6 maanden oud en het ziet er nogsteeds erg mooi uit. We raden earbuddies van harte aan, het is een kleine moeite voor zeer goed resultaat voor de rest van hun leven. Wij zijn zeer tevreden, dank!"

After two weeks we noticed an improvement but we also noticed a sore on our baby's ear. I was distraught about it all. I wasn’t sure if I should give up or carry on. I read the FAQs to find some answers. We decided to go for it again and this time there were no sores and I found that it got a little bit easier, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks it got easier and easier. The finished results are amazing.

I’m so pleased that we persisted and didn’t give up. It can be a stressful time with a new baby and a toddler demanding your attention but we did it and now our baby girl has some newly shaped ears that no longer stick out. If you're not sure about getting EarBuddies for your baby all I can say is what have you got to lose? Thanks."

"Hello, I’m the mother of Carter Gray Johnson and we started the EarBuddies journey when he was 5 weeks old. He had two kinks in his ears from birth, and the results after wearing them for 8 weeks are amazing. After the first week we already noticed a difference. We changed the tapes every week and were amazed at the changes every time we took them off.

The tapes are really easy to apply once you have done them a few times, and they didn’t bother Carter at all. My health visitor also asked about them when she came to visit us, and was amazed by EarBuddies as she had never heard of them. She also asked me for the EarBuddies website so she could recommend to other Mothers. We are so happy we went through with it. 100% worth every penny. Thank you."

I read everything online about EarBuddies and loved the feedback from parents. I ordered the end of April and it shipped super quick. I was able to begin splinting beginning of May and directions were easy to follow and came with all the supplies clearly marked. The first splinting was a little tough but after that it got easier and I learned that the splints needed to be changed when my daughter was asleep so she didn’t move around. I splinted both ears for 12 weeks and would change at every 10-14 days to check progress and clean. The left ear made almost perfect improvement and you cannot notice there was ever an issue.

The right ear made huge improvement and there is still a slight dip in the cartilage that unfortunately couldn’t be corrected but possibly will bend up and get better as her ear grows and hardens more. The wipes that are given to remove tape are miraculous!!! They take the tape off skin/hair without pulling and hurting. I even ordered more wipes and tape midway of splinting and they shipped and delivered less than a week to get to US!!!!

I would highly recommend this product to any parent that ever faced this issue. I’m so mad hospitals and pediatricians aren’t more aware of this and give info to parents, especially the pediatrician office. My pediatrician office was so happy with the results and thought the product was awesome!!!! I’m so happy that I made it through the splinting process and never gave up hope. I feel like me daughter will one day see what we did for her and be so thankful that we took a chance. Huge kudos to EarBuddies for creating the product and making it so easy to use and having such helpful customer service staff to answer inquiries. I’m so happy we found you and took this chance to help our daughter (even though she is perfect in our eyes)!! No regrets at all."

"When my son Connor was born, I noticed that his ears were folded causing the bottom of the ear to curve up (Stick-Out Lobe) and the top of the ear to be pointed. I thought he was a beautiful baby boy, but I was concerned of how his ear shape would appear as he got older. Being a boy, we plan to keep his hair short so his ears will naturally be exposed at all times! I did some research on the internet and discovered the EarBuddies option for early ear correction. I hesitated at first (was I being vain?) but knew that I would regret NOT trying something when he was little and unaware of the situation. We started EarBuddies when he was around 2 months old and after approximately 6 weeks of taping/splinting, we decided we were happy with the results!

I feel like if he was born with the ears he has now, I would have never thought anything of it. I was amazed at how much the EarBuddies helped in such a short period of time. I have no regrets in buying this product and sparing my son possible teasing in the future!

You can see from birth to day one of EarBuddies there was some self-correction happening, but with the EarBuddies we were confident in adjusting the "lop" of his ear to a more "corrected" position by splinting. We ended up taping both ears, but only one ear had the lop. Thank you EarBuddies for providing a GREAT solution for this baby boy of ours. We might have cried (out of stress) in placing the splints on the first day, but by the 3rd-4th splinting we felt really comfortable. Thanks again!!"

"We have been so happy with EarBuddies! My baby was born with a very rare ear malformation, an inverted conchal bowl. The conchal bowl was pushed-out rather than cupped-in, resulting in a very narrow ear canal. Beyond the cosmetic appearance, I was worried about future risk of external ear infections due to the extremely narrow canal, and functional difficulties with wearing an ear-bud style headset when my baby was older.

"I was worried about ... functional difficulties with wearing an ear-bud style headset when my baby was older."

I had assumed my baby would one day require an otoplasty. Through internet searches I learned that ear splinting was an option when babies are young, and can help them avoid surgery. I called every otolaryngologist and plastic surgeon in the closest 4 major cities near us, looking for someone who could help us. To my surprise no one performed ear splinting.

I was very lucky to be told about EarBuddies by another mom. I decided I would give it a try, and if it seemed to bother my baby, or if there was lack of results, we would simply stop. After the first week of splinting, when it was time to change the tapes, the results were amazing. My baby's ear looked essentially normal. We kept taping for several more weeks, to ensure the correction would be permanent. The tapes and splint never seemed to bother my baby at all.

My baby is now 6 months old, and it has been over 4 months since we completed treatment with EarBuddies. The ear still looks fantastic. My baby's pediatrician was amazed, and wanted to learn more about the EarBuddies system. Our plastic surgeon wanted to know where we purchased EarBuddies (from the UK website), so that he could recommend it to other patients. Thank you!"

"When Ted was born I noticed one of his ears was completely flat with no curl at all and the other one was flatter than it should be due to extra cartilage running through his ear. I asked various Midwives and Health Visitors about this and no one knew anything about it. Some told me it would fix itself over time and some said it was just how his ears had formed and nothing could be done about it.

I took Ted to the Doctor and they didn't know anything about it either. So I did some research online and realised that he had Stahl's Bar in both ears. I called the Doctor and explained my discovery and it wasn't something she had ever heard of… However it came to light that a collegue of hers (a fellow Doctor) had, as she had used EarBuddies succesfully on her little boy for the same deformity. This gave us the confidence to buy and fit EarBuddies with the guidance of the Doctor.

Ted was just under 2 weeks old when we fitted the EarBuddies. We kept them on for 2 weeks no problem; the plasters did get mucky and I was dying to take them off and wash his ears but we persevered and could see a massive difference after 2 weeks. We were so pleased! We refitted the EarBuddies ourselves again after letting the ears breathe for 24 hours. As I am breastfeeding, we did an extra week.

Both ears now have a lovely curl and we are so pleased we discovered EarBuddies in time, as my only concern had been teasing when he was older. The only issue was that no health professional seemed to know anything about either the deformity or the EarBuddies, and we feel more people should be aware of this, especially in the NHS. Thank you EarBuddies."

"At my daughter's 2 month well-check appointment, I mentioned the deformed cartilage on her right ear to her pediatrician. I told her I wouldn't want to do surgery to fix it because it's just cosmetic, but then she told me about a product called EarBuddies they recommend. After the appointment, I went home and researched and noticed it's from the UK. After seeing the price, I tried to find any sort of knock-off products from here in the US because I couldn't believe with all the success stories and how simple the device looked, that nobody had come up with it sooner. There wasn't anything else.

"When my fourth son Augie was born, one of his ears looked a little 'off.' His ear looked a bit smooshed and pointed at the top and I thought maybe it was from the birth, his position in the womb, or even from breastfeeding, and that it would correct itself. It really wasn't anything too extreme and I wasn't that worried about it. However, by the time he was 6 weeks old, it started to become more and more prominent and very elf-like. I was worried that he may be teased as he got older and didn't want that for him.

"I was so excited to discover that his ear could be reshaped without surgery..."

After some research, I discovered that he had an ear deformity called Stahl's Bar and that it could be corrected as an infant by wearing an ear mold. I was so excited to discover that his ear could be reshaped without surgery and that it seemed to be an easy fix. When I found this awesome, simple device called EarBuddies (that I was able to do myself) I ordered it right away and received the mold very quickly (in about 5 days) considering I live in the U.S.

Augie started wearing the mold at 8 weeks old and wore it for a total of 8 weeks. The process was a little stressful for the first fitting, we had to re-do it the first time! Once I nursed him to sleep for our second try we were able to place it fairly easily. After that first fitting, all other tape changes were much easier, as his ear was already shaped at that point, and then it was just keeping it in place. His ear is beautiful now and we are so excited!

Thank you EarBuddies!"

 

Update 09/03/19 : "I can’t believe this was one year ago. My baby’s ear is still perfectly holding it’s shape from using an ear mold for a grand total of 8 weeks. This was an amazing solution to my son’s ear deformity that didn’t require surgery. So grateful!"

After thoroughly reading the website, I was keen to give it a go. I was initially scared by what others might think and my husband took a little talking round, but the whole family has been amazed how well it's worked and I'm so glad we decided to give EarBuddies a try. I decided to be honest when questioned about the tapes, and most people were very understanding. We were even surprised when my husband's best friend knew what EarBuddies were having researched himself in case his newborn daughter inherited his ears!

We started the process when my son was 11 weeks old and I was very impressed with the fast delivery time. To be honest, I found the first fitting a little stressful and fiddly, but it got much easier each time. I found fitting when asleep to be the best time. I'm so glad I stuck it out!

I changed the tapes every 10 days or so, but wish I'd brought more tapes to start with as cheaper ones don't match up and irritated his ears. I ended up ordering more and paying more postage. We've kept the tapes on for 16 weeks in total and have been very pleased with the results so far, especially for the shape."

I’m happy to report that in these 3 months, not only did we correct what could have been a lifetime of self-confidence issues, I have also grown to LOVE my little Wolfie’s name."

"When our daughter was born in late August of this year, we noticed that one of her ears was cupped and sticking out. She had a lack of cartilage in her inner ear. The only thing we could think about was her possibly needing surgery when she's older to correct this probably... That is until we found out about EarBuddies.

"EarBuddies has completely reshaped our daughter's ear in as little as 6 days!"

EarBuddies has completely reshaped our daughter's ear in as little as 6 days! We looked at the results on the sixth day to make sure her ear wasn't getting irritated and to our amazement, her ear looked almost perfect! We left the EarBuddy in her ear for 2 more weeks and couldn't be happier with the results. Although the recommended time for us to keep the EarBuddy in her ear was 2 months, we were satisfied as to how well her ear looked at just 3 weeks.

I highly recommend this product! It is so worth every penny! I have attached a before EarBuddies picture of my daughter's ear (1st picture) and after pictures of her ear. Thanks for such an amazing product!!!"

"We have been absolutely delighted with EarBuddies. Olivia was born with her right ear folded in half which started uncurling outwards resembling a cauliflower. Our GP told us she would need reconstructive surgery when she was seven which I was not happy about. I came across EarBuddies by chance online and after an initial fitting by Mr Gault when she was three months, we soon got the hang of the fitting. After three months her ear is perfect. I would recommend it to anyone as it's given such fantastic results without resorting to surgery."

"When our son was born I noticed he had prominent ears and that they were bent over. I thought that this would correct itself after a few days but instead they started to get worse. I looked into ear splinting as I didn't want my son being bullied when he was older. If I could do something whilst he was so young, it would benefit him. After researching and discussing it with our GP, it was decided to fit him with EarBuddies. They were delivered the day after ordering and fitted when he was 15 days old.

Myself and partner fitted the splints easily (helps when baby is asleep). We changed the tapes after 1 week and were amazed by the results! He was able to have his hearing test whilst wearing the splints. The tapes were reapplied and changed again after another week and left for a further week (3 weeks in total). We are really pleased with the results after such a short time and would recommend this product for stick out ears. Thank you EarBuddies!!"

"I would love to share my story and show the success of using EarBuddies on my daughter. When my little girl was born, the only issue with her ears was that the rim was slightly folded over, which was barely noticeable. However within the first few days I noticed that the whole ear folded over when breast-feeding or being cuddled. It wasn’t until she was 7 weeks old that her ears began to stick out. So, when the Health Visitor came around I asked her about the benefits of EarBuddies – she made me feel like I was being completely out of order asking, saying that she couldn’t see anything wrong and that she was perfect the way she was – so I did nothing at this point.

When she was 14 weeks old, they had become more pronounced and luckily my husband admitted that he thought they had to – it was at this point, with the support to go ahead, that I bought the EarBuddies. My first attempt I fitted them with my sister who had also used the EarBuddies in 2015 when she managed to correct the rim kink in her sons ear. It was a stressful process for me but finally we managed to get them on. I had to change the tapes on a regular basis as it was during the heatwave, but it became a lot easier over time as I got used to it. I learnt applying them when breastfeeding was the best time for me.

"After several months we really noticed a change, her ears are now much less pronounced and I am so thankful for discovering EarBuddies!"

There are a few points I would share with any parent thinking of using EarBuddies:

• Go with your instinct as a parent – don’t rely on others telling you that it’s a good decision – people will just say your baby is perfect. To be honest, I thought my baby’s sticking out ears were so cute, however I knew that they may not look this way when she grew up.
• Remember, especially when fitting them for the first time, that it will be distressing but persevere – I panicked and rushed but wish I hadn’t because I knew she wasn’t in any pain, just upset. Because I rushed I had to redo one side 24 hours later.
• Buy the premium pack if your baby is over 1 month – I was a bit naïve thinking I was saving money by buying the basic kit even though my daughter was 3 months. I thought I could make the tapes last more than 2 weeks at a time – I did not and ended up having to go back and buy more tapes.
• Be prepared for a mix of emotions from people – I had someone tut at me, and some people who didn’t see why I was doing it, through to a nurse who thought I was a good mother for trying everything to correct it in a way that wasn’t painful such as surgery in later life.

Thank you EarBuddies for helping me to correct my little girls ears!! I would recommend any parent thinking of using these to give them a try as it's worth the effort!"

But as a mother and my son being dear to me I didn't lose hope and continued to google and research about ear corrections. I found non surgical treatments from EarBuddies, Otostick cosmetic instant correction equipment and earwell infant ear correction device. The only solution to my child’s ear deformity was found at EarBuddies, as it ships worldwide, reaches within a short span of time, offers solutions for various ear deformities and is not costly. I finally bought EarBuddies splints nearly 2 months ago. It was quite an easy process as all instructions and guidelines are found on the EarBuddies website.

I started splintage on 14th of June with a positive mind and ended it on 20th July 2017. I followed instructions on EarBuddies website for conchal bowl deformity, made both splints in a heart shape as per instructions and fitted both together in his left ear. Bandage were changed and his left ear checked every eight days. Of course, members of the family used to ask lots of questions when they saw his bandaged ear. My only answer was that he got an ear infection so that they will spare me from further questions. During splintage time, I used to feel worried, whether it will work or not. I saw improvement after the first eight days where the bulge coming outside went inside to some extent. I told myself that I need to continue and have patience with the splintage despite people would question me, and that this is for the betterment and future of my child who would be spared from people's and family members' curiosity, questions, ridicule and my child would not feel low self esteem later in his life because of his ear deformity.

Finally, EarBuddies has been a blessing for my son. Looking at his ear now nobody would believe that he previously had an ear deformity. EarBuddies I would like to say a huge thanks for creating such an amazing product that can save millions of babies from ridicule, low self esteem and costly surgery in future. With a Basic Kit my son's ear deformity has been cured for life. It is indeed a miracle that only EarBuddies splints can do. I will surely recommend EarBuddies splints to other babies having ear deformity as it has been a 100% success in my baby's case. I am really happy and satisfied as well as do not regret having invested in EarBuddies.

Thank you EarBuddies for your clear instructions, guidelines, quick shipping, support and most importantly this simple yet amazing product."

"Dear Earbuddies staff,

I just wanted to let you know how HAPPY we are after my baby completed his 3 month treatment. As I told you in previous emails, he had prominent ears and I was concerned about him getting bullied or too self-conscious in the future. Before trying earbuddies he had worn a similar but more expensive treatment with no results whatsoever. This made me think maybe earbuddies wouldn't work for him either, but I was wrong!! And we are so glad we gave it a try!

"It was much easier and far more comfortable to wear and apply than I thought"

It was much easier and far more comfortable to wear and apply than I thought, even in a very hot climate like the one we have here in the southeast of Spain in spring and summer and on very sensitive skin like my son's. Plus, we could already see results after only 15 days! Here are some before and after pictures for you to see how well it worked.

Tapes have been off for 4 days now and we really hope his ears stay the way they are. Thank you so much for making such an amazing and easy-to-use device available to everyone."

"EarBuddies is the best and fastest way to prevent a bigger ear problem in the future. The website is very helpful about all the different types of ear deformity and it is very easy to find your baby’s ear deformity and fixing steps. I recommend you do not hesitate to get EarBuddies if you have any doubt about your baby’s ear. Because in the future, you may have a bigger problem and maybe solution is going to be harder. We were very worried about our newborn baby Miray’s left ear, so I made a search on the Web, found EarBuddies, and ordered; shipping was really fast. In just the second day, I could see the progress in her ear.

"In just the second day, I could see the progress in her ear."

We continued to use the splint, she wasn't disturbed about fitting the splint to her ear. But I highly recommend you to get adhesive tape remover. Because it really helps them when you get off the tape. The happiness will come to your house when you see the progress. I am very pleased of using the EarBuddies. I will recommend to all my friends. Thanks for the miracle EarBuddies! 

Ibrahim also kindly provided the following comment for our Turkish readers:

"Yeni doğan bebeğimizin sol kulağında doğduktan hemen sonra ufakta olsa Bi şekil bozukluğu olduğunu gördüğümüzde gerçekten çok üzülmüştüm. Nasıl bir önlem alabiliriz derken, internette yaptığım araştırma sonucu EarBuddies ile tanıştım. Web sitesini okuduktan ve her türlü ince ayrıntıya kadar bilgi verildiğini gördükten sonra ne kadar güzel ve başarılı bir iş yaptıklarını anladım ve hemen sipariş verdim. Kargo gerçekten çok hızlı bir şekilde geldi. Splint'i ilk uygulamadan sonra gelişmeyi görmek evimizde bir mutluluk rüzgarı estirdi. Sizlere tavsiyem bebeğinizin kulağıyla ilgili en ufak bir şüpheniz varsa, hiç çekinmeden bir tane alın ve deneyin. Kullanımı kolay, ileride bebeğinize yaptırmanız gerekebilecek muhtemel bir plastik cerrahi operasyonundan çok daha ucuz ve acısız. Bebeğiniz onun kulağında olduğunu anlamayacak bile. En önemli tavsiyem ise, bant sökücü mendil veya spreylerden kesinlikle almanız. Çünkü bantları sökerken bu olmazsa Canları çok yanabilir. Bununla beraber kulağından çıktığından haberi bile olmayacak. Kesinlikle tavsiye edebilceğim çok iyi bir ürün."

"Thank you for educating me, thank you for giving me hope & thank you for letting me believe I can do this before I even got the product. My daughter was two months old when my kit arrived. I cannot express the excitement and joy me and my family felt after seeing my daughters ears after only two weeks. The results where outstanding, but we noticed her ears where still very soft, so we continued for 7 more weeks. The results truly speak for themselves. Thank you for this life changing product, you successfully changed my daughters life forever."

We needed to purchase the large kit with Emilia being 6 months old, but if there was a chance to fix our baby's ears and help her out, even if it didn't work we had to take it and it was worth every penny. We put the Ear Buddies on her on 31st December, 2 weeks later there was already a huge improvement!! We couldn't believe it.

We continued re-applying them every 2 weeks when we eventually had no further need to continue with them after 2.5 months as the ear cartilage has started to harden! We are absolutely thrilled with the results and we can't thank you enough!!! I will be forever grateful, from 1 very happy 1st time mummy :)"

"This is Olivia who is now 6 months old ! She is a twin who was born 10 weeks premature. Due to being in an incubator​ for a long period of time and her ear cartilage being very soft her ear became deformed over time. This is 6 weeks results. After being told she would need surgery to correct it we are thrilled with the results."

"I would just like to provide some very positive anonymous feedback please from myself and my wife who are both health care professionals in the NHS. Your product is effective, easy to use and was really well tolerated by our new born son. I would suggest raising awareness of this great product with paediatric trainees who do the baby checks of new borns in hospital, midwifes and health visitors. For example, do you have a rep who visits maternity units? GPs should also be aware but don't typically see babies until 6-weeks. Our experience was that no health care professional we met knew anything about this treatment and we had to research this problem ourselves. The Fraser et al paper "Development of a screening service for neonatal ear deformity using neonatal hearing screeners and an information leaflet" in International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology in 2013 gave us the confidence to go ahead with it despite nobody else we met being aware of this treatment."

I also wanted to add that our son has extremely sensitive skin and we have not had any issues with the Ear Buddies system. We apply a small amount of Medihoney with a q-tip where the ear meets the back of his head and did notice some skin breakdown the one time we forgot to use this. We also use the Cavilon barrier spray and gentle adhesive remover. I did a lot of research on ear deformities and treatments, however your website did not appear in my searches until I specifically typed "tape for prominent ears”.

I wanted to thank you, EarBuddies, for helping us prevent future cosmetic surgery and give symmetrical ears to our little boy during his early childhood. I just wish I had discovered this sooner. I hope this helps more families utilize this life changing product."

"Hi! My beautiful baby girl, Emilia, was born with one sticky out ear. Having been teased for the way I looked when I was a teenager I didn't want Emilia to go through the same experience due to her 'pixie ear' but also didn't want to put her through surgery so I looked for an alternate solution and found the EarBuddies system. She's been wearing the splints for 2 months now and her ears look amazing!

People laughed at me and looked at me like I was ridiculous when I decided to do this but I'm so glad I did, now my beautiful girl has perfect little ears. Thank you!"

"My daughter Charlie was born with perfect ears but as the months passed they began to stick out more and more. My eldest son also has stick out ears and I became concerned that Charlie would have the same issue. It was when I was searching for possible solutions for Harry that I came across EarBuddies.

I immediately ordered them but was sceptical as she was almost 5 months old. She is now 9 1/2 months old and I can not believe the difference!! I only wish I'd known about them for Harry. I can not recommend them enough! I now feel happy that Charlie can grow up without being self conscious of her ears. Thank you."
