My son was also born with this ear condition - all of his pediatricians (and a pediatric ENT friend) have just shrugged it off. My son is seven now, and we have had is hearing tested very carefully and no problems have been detected in that ear.

One of my worries is that he will eventually become self conscious about the appearance of that ear and/or want to wear earbuds - this would require plastic surgery. Has anyone hear considered or had a corrective surgery performed for this particular deformity?
