Testing a new ear reconstruction system in children
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new device called the Auryzon EAR 2.0 System to help rebuild ears in children and teens who have a deformity from birth or injury. The goal is to see if it works well for patients having surgery at Nemours Children's Hospital in Florida.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 5 and 20 years old
- You have a physical deformity of the ear that needs surgical repair
- You are healthy enough to have surgery with general anesthesia
- Your parent or legal guardian agrees to let you be in the study, and you agree if old enough
- You can speak and understand English or Spanish well enough to fill out surveys

This trial compares two ways of rebuilding the outer ear for people born with a small or missing ear (microtia). It looks at whether connecting the remaining ear tissue to a new ear-shaped scaffold is safer and more effective when done in one stage or two stages.
This trial tests two different ways to mold and fix ear deformities in newborns. If successful, your baby could have a more normally shaped ear without surgery.
This study looks at whether extra support and coordination (case management) can help people going through ear reconstruction for microtia. If you're planning this surgery, the study may help you understand and manage the process better.
This trial tests a bone conduction implant called the OSIA system, which bypasses the damaged outer or middle ear to send sound directly to the inner ear. It is for children with microtia or ear atresia (underdeveloped or missing ear structures) who have hearing loss but have been using a bone conduction device on a headband. The goal is to see if getting the implant on both sides improves hearing and quality of life for these children.
This study tests a new way to stimulate your hearing nerve during ear surgery while you are awake. It might help doctors better understand hearing loss and improve future treatments.
This study is developing a system to evaluate and improve hearing for people with congenital hearing loss. It compares participants who have hearing loss (and have used hearing aids, cochlear implants, or gene therapy) with healthy controls, to better understand and treat hearing challenges.
