Pediatricians who treat patients with microtia often work with a number of health care professionals to ensure the entire range of health and wellness issues are managed. For example, a hearing specialist and speech therapist may work with the child to make certain any hearing or speech issues are identified and corrected as early as possible. This type of attention can greatly help a childs performance in school. Children who have involvement of the bone structure of their face would be seen by a craniofacial surgeon and an orthodontist.

The health care team will also ask the family to watch carefully for any signs of ear infection in the childs normal ear. Early treatment for infection will help ensure that hearing is maintained in the unaffected ear. A child with unilateral microtia (affecting only one of the ears) may have difficulty localizing sounds, especially in crowds. Should this pose a problem at school, the child is encouraged to sit at the front of the class. The child can also significantly benefit from wearing a receiver to which an amplified signal is broadcast by an FM transmitter worn by the teacher. These FM receivers are small and inconspicuous.

The health care team specializing in children with conditions like microtia, can also provide the family with other forms of support. Clinics can offer the chance to meet other families and children with this condition. This type of support can be extremely valuable. The opportunity to share experiences can offer important advice as the child grows, and can help families cope by providing emotional and moral support along the way. The health care team will also work with the child and the family to determine which treatment option is best suited to their particular situation.
