Prominent ears are hereditary
5-8% of all newborns have prominent ears to a greater or lesser degree, and prominent ears is usually hereditary. Many parents to babies with prominent ears, have in their own childhood experienced problems with teasing and consequently low self-esteem, and they want to save their child from similar experiences. We recommend parents to start treatment as early as possible, preferable before the child develops self-awareness and the ears give cause to problems.

It is important to have plenty of time to perform the treatment, especially the first few times.

Children from 3 years and up, will often take great interest in participating in the treatment. It is our experience that the more you involve your child in the treatment, the smoother it will be performing the routines.

As the results show and treatment is nearing completion, their interest often wears of a bit and they might not want to use the products the full hours. This might prolong treatment period but will not have influence on the permanent results.

Many teenagers choose Sorribes Ear Method

Teenagers who are unhappy with their ears, are usually eager to have the ears corrected and very committed to the treatment. As the results show and treatment is nearing completion, the interest often wears of a bit and the teenager might not want to use the products the full hours.
Daily use
We always recommend to use the clip and the strips together at least 15 hours a day, as treatment with both clips and the strip is most effective and allows a shorter treatment period. Many of our teenage clients ,however, prefer using the strip and the clips together at nighttime, the strips alone for daytime as the strips are invisible and corrects the ears to the head during treatment (also the strips needs minimal attention, as they can stay on the ears until they begin loosening). We recommend to perform the treatment as part of the daily routines, for instance before bedtime. Teenagers are able to perform the routines themselves.

Sorribes Ear Method works for adults
The older you are the longer treatment period
As the cartilage of the ears grow harder and stiffer accordingly to the age, the treatment period for adults is longer than for children. We have several adult clients who completed treatment with a satisfactory result; we do however recommend our adult clients to be both patient and persistent.
Daily use for adults
We always recommend to use the clip and the strips together at least 15 hours daytime or nighttime, as treatment with both clips and the strip is most effective and allows a shorter treatment period. You might prefer to use clips and the strip together only at nighttime and the strips alone at daytime as the invisible strip is a very discrete treatment. We recommend to perform the treatment as part of the daily routines, for instance before bedtime.
