(prHWY.com) December 11, 2011 - East Palo Alto, CA -- December 11, 2011 - California Ear Institute is the global center for atresia repair which revolutionized this concept providing combined atresia/microtia reconstruction surgery which can be done at the age of 3
Microtia and aural atresia represent two congenital conditions which most often manifest in conjunction. They appear when the ear canal does not develop normally and the can affect one or both ears. A hearing test is very important for a child with this malformation and it must be done in the early days or weeks of life because most of the time will reveal a "maximum conductive hearing loss" of about 60 decibels exists for the affected ear. Moreover, for a child with bilateral atresia, hearing amplification is essential for language development yet still can have difficulty hearing in stereo to localize sound direction. Depending of the type of aural atresia and the type of microtia, various surgical procedures are available but most of them cannot be performed until the age of 6 and the results are visible in about one or two years.
With respect to this, California Ear Institute boasts with two reputable doctors, Dr. Roberson and Dr. Reinisch, who are the inventors of the CAM- Combine Atresia/Microtia reconstruction surgery. They virtually revolutionized this concept performing over a hundred successful surgeries on children worldwide, creating functional ear canals and restoring hearing within the normal limits. Previously, it took up to five surgical procedures to achieve these results and the children had to wait until they were at least 7 years old in order to complete these operations. But due to the expertise of Drs. Roberson and Reinisch, children who are about 3 years old can undergo a single surgical procedure CAM, which will reconstruct their ear providing the chance for a better hearing and thus for a better living.
