Ever since our first Earicles conference in 2013, we strive to create a warm and educational environment for microtia and atresia families to meet, share and learn from each other while having access to national experts in the field who are knowledgeable about the latest research, technology and advances in surgical treatment. One of the favorite events at all our conferences is the Patient/Parent Panel. Families that have been through the process share their journeys and allow any one interested to see their reconstructed ears.
