The annual Brisbane Microtia & Atresia conference was once again an impressive event offering important information and support to Australian families. I’ve summarised a few of the common questions families asked me regarding having ear reconstruction in Australia if they choose to go down that path.
Another Australian First in Microtia
Last Monday another young Australian boy received a 3D printed ear implant. While this is the second for Australia, he also a “first” because he received a bone anchored hearing aid implant during the same operation. Usually done over 2 separate operations, this procedure is the first of its kind in Australia.
