What is Microtia?
Microtia is a congenital ear deformity that causes small and improperly formed ears. Because of the moderate to severe conductive hearing loss, some speech delay may occur in children. The great news is that a highly-skilled surgeon like Dr. Bonilla can help children by repairing their microtia, as well as improve their hearing loss so that they may lead full, healthy lives.
Dr. Bonilla has developed special techniques that have resulted in excellent outcomes for children with microtia and atresia.
