"I have attached photographs of my daughter before, during and towards the end of her EarBuddies treatment. Her ears were not prominent until about 3 months. I applied her EarBuddies at 13.5 months (you can see her wearing EarBuddies in the photo below). The final photo is at 16.5 months, after tape removal, when I left her ears to air out for a couple of days.

16.5 months old
She was breast fed up to 15 months. I mention this as I understand breast feeding helps keep the cartilage soft, and aids splinting success. She will have her EarBuddies on for one more week before her treatment is complete (treatment duration 4 months plus one week to account for time ears were left to air during tape changes). My daughter wore head bands to cover the splints and no one ever noticed them, but she has many compliments on her head bands. I changed the tapes more regularly than suggested at times, as the tapes got wet on several occasion when she was in the pool (despite having a shower cap on). Otherwise I followed the instructions and advice provided. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information or photographs. Kind regards"
