Otoplasty and hearing

Filed under: Otoplasty — Tags: — Dr. Edward D. Buckingham, M.D. @ 9:19 pm

Chris,

No an otoplasty will not affect your hearing, positively or negatively.  The external auricle is only responsible for a minuscule amount of the gathering of sound waves to the middle and inner ear.  The middle and inner ear are responsible for amplifying the sound to the brain.
