What should I do if the right ear of the baby has no ear piercing hole and ear rim deformity?

Patient's question:

The baby doesn't have an ear piercing on the right ear, and there is a deformity in the auricle. The left ear looks normal. When using noisy toys on him, there is no reaction. Can it be treated and corrected? Could it be epilepsy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the child's condition should be a manifestation of congenital external ear deformity. It is recommended to have a professional otolaryngology examination to conduct relevant tests and assess how the middle and inner ear are developing abnormally. In some cases, surgery may stabilize hearing, and earlobe and external ear canal reshaping can also be performed. Did the child pass the hearing screening at birth on the left side? Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
