Otostick Baby - Single Pack
Description
Are you concerned that your baby’s ears stick out too much? Maybe it’s a family trait that you’d rather your children didn’t have to inherit? Then perhaps new Otostick® Baby is for you.
Otostick® Baby permanently reduces the angle of prominent ears in a non-invasive, discreet and painless manner with regular use1. The product is hypoallergenic and suitable for continued use*.
Permanent surgical solutions (known as otoplasty or pinnaplasty) are available to correct excess prominence of the ears but are not recommended until a child is older2. In fact ear correction accounts for around half of all cosmetic operations in under 18s3. If you would prefer not to wait years for a solution, or simply avoid the trauma of surgery, then maybe Otostick® Baby can help.
Otostick Baby® is a small, practically invisible silicone prosthesis which keeps the ear close to the head using a specially developed hypoallergenic adhesive. It is discreet, painless and does not require a prescription. Use the supplied cap to prevent baby pulling at the ears to avoid potential choking hazard. Otostick Baby® is registered as a Medical Device Class 1 throughout the EU.
This issue may seem trivial to those who have not experienced it but, as with many other perceived physical 'abnormalities', it can have a very serious psychological impact on the individuals concerned. Even innocent or playful comments can lead to self-consciousness. This self-consciousness can in turn lead to lack of confidence, avoidance of social situations, unwillingness to wear the hair in certain styles and other behaviours driven by or leading towards low self esteem. In the worst cases, verbal and even physical abuse or bullying can be experienced.
A study in North Staffordshire found that the correction of protruding ears in children aged 5-16 years reduced or ended bullying in 100% of cases, it increased levels of happiness by 97%, self-confidence by 92% and improved social experience for 79% of the affected children4.
All of these potential issues could be avoided without the need for surgery with a simple and painless solution which can be applied from 3 months – Otostick® Baby.

Otostick® is registered as a Medical Device Class 1 throughout the EU. 
The product was created by worried mother Francisca Gamero, who was concerned that her young daughter's ears were becoming very prominent due to often being folded as she slept. She began to use plasters to hold them in place, then tried several other 'specialist' products but, while she saw improvement, she found them fiddly and difficult to use.
Rather than simply giving up or waiting until her daughter was old enough for a surgical procedure to correct the problem, Francisca decided to create a better solution - Otostick®. The design and materials were developed with help from University experts in Francisca's native Spain, with a unique hypoallergenic adhesive created especially for this product. The product is now sold internationally and has helped thousands of people to feel more confident about their appearance.
*Otostick® and Otostick® Baby should be changed every 7 days, leaving the product off overnight or for at least 8 hours to allow skin to breathe before applying a new corrector.
