Early Solution 1
Professional ear molding
A clinician applies a gentle molding system while the ear cartilage is still soft enough to reshape more easily.
Early Solution 2
EarBuddies at home
For some families, an at-home splinting system may be an early option to review alongside guidance from a provider.
How to Use EarSpot™
Capture, review, and share
EarSpot Tool
EarSpot™ helps you document what you see before the early treatment window starts to close.
Capture photos, review the output, share it if needed, and move quickly to clinics or home-solution options.
Phone First
Capture simple side-profile photos from your phone without special equipment.
Early Awareness
Use the result as a structured reference while treatment decisions are still time-sensitive.
Shareable
Review and/or share the result with your baby's provider when you want a second look.
What to do next if you want treatment options
EarSpot can be the starting point. From here, families often review either professional ear molding or at-home support, then search for nearby clinics.
Professional Option
Ear molding + clinic finder
Early, non-surgical ear molding is often the first option families explore. Use our clinic finder to look for local providers quickly.
- Best started early while the ear is still more moldable.
- Helpful for folds, rim shape changes, and other visible differences.
At-Home Solution
Earbuddies™
Earbuddies™ is an at-home, non-surgical option families may consider for common newborn ear shape concerns.
- Uses soft splints and tape to support ear shape.
- Works best when started early, similar to clinic molding.
It is still smart to check with your pediatrician or a specialist before starting treatment.
The first few weeks are the best time to notice, document, and act.
EarSpot is most helpful when it supports fast next steps: clearer observation, earlier care conversations, and quicker access to molding clinics or home options.
Timing changes the options
Newborn ear cartilage is more moldable early on, so families usually have the most flexibility during the first weeks.
Photos are easier to compare than memory
Structured image capture can make it easier to notice whether an ear fold, rim shape, or asymmetry looks stable or changing.
Clearer next steps reduce delay
If something looks off, you can move straight from the tool to provider review, clinic search, or home-solution research.
A simple photo-based reference tool for newborn ear shape awareness.
EarSpot™ uses image analysis to review visual reference points related to infant ear shape, contour, and symmetry from side-profile photos.
It is designed to help parents organize observations early, compare what they are seeing, and decide whether to review and/or share the result with a provider. It is not a replacement for medical evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment.
Start AssessmentFrom first photo to next step
EarSpot keeps the process simple so you can move quickly while early treatment options are still on the table.
Capture Photos
Take clear side-profile images following the tool's photo guidance.
