The method

This website is dedicated to those who suffer the problem of protruding ears and want to solve the problem with a home remedy.

There are several ways to solve the problem but obviously I will focus on non-surgical techniques.

Personally I consider it a problem because I have suffered, and now I think I can do that many young people lose the complex. However, it Should Be Important to Know That our unique features make us who we are. This is the reason I prefer this kind of remedy to the otoplasty.

I will show my home remedy for people who have the problem of what people call: stick out ears, bat ears, prominent ears, protruding ears, Dumbo ears, etc. ..

     

     

Step one: Clean the area behind the ears.

Step Two: Put the mirror and remove the hair that lies between the back of the ear and head.

Step Three: Looking in the mirror, place the double sided tape to the position that sees fit according to your ear shape (I can give advice on this point) on the head. This step, like its predecessor, with practice, you need not you look in the mirror.

Step Four: As an alternative to the third step, I propose to double-sided tape on the head and another in the back of the ear. I recommend this fourth step instead of the third.

Step Five: Press your ear against the head to stick together.

Step Six: Put on a headband or glasses pressing the ears for a few minutes before leaving home. This step would not be necessary, but always improve efficiency.

Article of Nonsurgical Treatment of Prominent Ears With the Auri Method

Objective: To present and test a new method for conservative correction of prominent pinnae in children aged between 2 weeks and 5.5 years.

Design: Prospective study on 56 pinnae (the outer part of the ear) from 44 children aged between 0.25 and 5.5 years, treated with the Auri method, which consists of a clip and a strip. The clip is a specially designed plastic clamp used during the night for an average of 4.3 hours per night. It squeezes the cartilage and makes a fold at the place of the missing anthelix. The strip is a double adhesive fixture used during daytime for an average of 8.9 hours per day. To test the efficiency of the treatment objective (thickness and stiffness of the pinna, cephaloauricular distance, and photo-documentation) and subjective (investigators’ and parents’ judgment of the shape and grade of the correction of the pinnae) parameters have been applied.

Results: Of the children, 38 (86%) achieved good to fair correction of their pinnae. Of the parents, all 44 (100%) were satisfied with the treatment and 35 (80%) reported good to fair correction of their child’s pinnae. Slight complications were observed in 13 children (30%): 10 (23%) had temporary irritation of the skin of the pinna and 3 (7%) had slight temporary squeeze marks of the pinnae. Of the 44 children, 31 were evaluated 10 months after completing treatment, and the pinnae of 38 children (86%) maintained their corrected shape.


Conclusions: Correction of the prominent pinna can be done by the new nonsurgical Auri method in children aged between 0.25 and 5.5 years, which provided good to fair results in 89% of pinnae in this study. The method is efficient in the short term and easy to use by the parents, but it requires long-term motivation of the parents as well as the child. The child can be treated at early age, avoiding psychosocial and cosmetic problems during school age.
