Non-hypoplastic congenital ear deformities are amenable to non-surgical treatment with splinting in the neonatal period. It is therefore important to determine when the deformity occurs. 100 postal questionnaires were sent to parents to study, retrospectively, the evolution of the prominent ear deformity in their children. 79 questionnaires were returned. As remembered by parents, the deformity was first noted at birth in 48 (61%) children, in 68 (86%) by 6 months and in all cases by 5 years. Therefore a large number of patients with prominent ears could be treated effectively, non surgically, early in life, without anaesthetic and with minimal cost.
非发育不全性先天性耳部畸形在新生儿期可通过夹板进行非手术治疗。因此，确定畸形何时出现很重要。我们向家长发送了100份邮政调查问卷，以回顾性研究其孩子招风耳畸形的演变情况。共收回79份问卷。据家长回忆，48名（61%）儿童在出生时首次发现畸形，68名（86%）在6个月时发现，所有病例在5岁时均已发现。因此，大量招风耳患者可以在生命早期接受有效的非手术治疗，无需麻醉，成本极低。
