Mozart ear

Hello! I’ve been doing research on Mozart ear for the last 5 months as my son was born with the ear deformity. He is a twin and his sister was not born with any ear deformities. He was in fact born with a severe tongue tie and has a lip tie as well. We visited the ENT and were told his canal was normal and his hearing is also normal. However, we were warned that he may be at risk of ear infections or potential hearing loss in the future? Our insurance denied molding to be done so now we just sit and wait and cross our fingers that it doesn’t cause problems. I did read that there is a possible link between ear deformities and renal issues. I don’t have any suspicion of that but yes, it does make me concerned for the future. Any input from others would be helpful as there’s such limited information available!

My son has a very similar ear but as of 4 years old he has perfect hearing and never had an ear infection in that ear. So far so good even though several Dr's have had discouraging predictions in the beginning.

My son has a Mozart ear also! He is perfect hearing and of our whole family appears to be the most musically inclined with it so we have not looked for any intervention. I do find it intriguing though. His pediatrician credits it to being a cranio-facial abnormality but I think it's pretty neat. My son also had tongue ties and lip ties. Did you have any other unusual traits that accompany your awesome ear?

Hi, my son also has this.

This thread is intriguing me. I wonder if Mozart ear only occurs in males. Has anyone ever met a female with a Mozart ear?

I have it. Didn’t know I did till I read this! Used to make wearing some headphones very painful, but now I have Bluetooth hearing aids, so all good 😊 - for clarity, I’m female!
