Surgical treatment is the main treatment for external ear malformation. The purpose of the operation is to restore the normal appearance and function of the outer ear by reconstructing its shape and structure. The surgical methods include auricle reconstruction, external auditory canal plasty, ossicular chain reconstruction, etc. The operation is usually carried out when the patient is about 6 years old. At this time, the ear development of the patient is basically completed, and the operation effect is good.

2. Non operative treatment

Non operative treatment mainly includes wearing auricle orthotics and hearing rehabilitation training. Wearing auricle orthotics is suitable for mild external ear deformities, and can gradually restore the external ear to its normal shape through the pressure and support of the orthotics. Hearing rehabilitation training is applicable to patients with hearing impairment. Listening and language training can be used to improve patients' listening and language abilities.

Patients should make full preparations before surgery, including physical examination and psychological preparation. The patient should inform the doctor of his or her medical history and allergy history so that the doctor can formulate an appropriate treatment plan. Patients should also be mentally prepared to accept the risks and complications that may be brought about by surgery.
