Objective: To study the effect of amazing ear correction system on 2-6 months old infants with congenital ear deformity. Method: Thirty infants (37 ears) with congenital auricular deformities were enrolled in the study. Deformities included constriction, cryptopia, helicalrim, prominent, conchal strut, and Stahl deformities and microtia. The patients were divided into 2 groups. Infants elder than 2 months were 20 cases(26 auricular malformed ears). And infants under 2 months old were 10 cases(11 auricular malformed ears). All the patients underwent ear molding using the amazing ears correction system. The patients of each group were followed-up for at least 3 months. Result: The results were divided into three levels(excellent, good, and poor) according to the correction of auricular shape. In Group elder than 2 months, 13 ears were excellent and the average treatment time was 46.85 days，5 ears were good, the average treatment time was 43.40 days and 8 ears were poor, the average treatment time was 13.13 days. In Group under 2 months old, 5 ears were excellent and the average treatment time was 28.80 days，6 ears were good and the average treatment time was 18.66 days. The patients of each group were followed-up for at least 3 months and no rebound occurred. Conclusion:Ear correction system has a significant effect on those more than 2 months and less than 6 months with congenital auricular deformity. The children who were more than 2 months old need to wear the auricle appliance over 6 weeks to achieve a satisfactory effect.
