Ear molding is working with high levels of success in many ways. The three main ways ear molding treatment is performed are 1) parent(s) / caregiver(s) order ear molds and apply them at home, 2) treatment is performed at a hospital, pediatrician's office or private practice by trained medical professionals, 3) molds are applied at home by parent(s) / caregiver(s) with virtual coaching by medical professionals.
There is no one size fits all with ear molding as each case has its own level of severity. The most important thing is to act fast.
Treatment costs vary considerably. At home application by parents can be as low as a few hundred dollars, but treatment in a private practice can be upwards of $6k.
