• Normal Hearing

  Although surgical correction of auditory canal atresia, called canalplasty, can improve hearing, it seldom results in normal hearing at all pitches (frequencies) of sound. [msdmanuals.com]

  Because aural atresia occurs after inner ear development, most ( ›80%), patients have normal nerve hearing but have a maximum conductive hearing loss because bone separates the inner ear from the outside sound. [pediatric-ent.com]

Epidemiology Frequency No statistics are available on the prevalence of protruding or prominent ears. Heredity plays a role in many deformities of the external ear. [emedicine.medscape.com]

EPIDEMIOLOGY • Microtia and congential auditory atresia occur in approximately 1 in every 6000 live births. • These deformities commonly occur unilaterally, more so on the right side. • Men are affected thrice as common as women. [slideshare.net]

Because there are several anomalies, there are many associated hypothesized pathophysiologies. [statpearls.com]
