She has a condition called as microtia. She needs further assessment by an ent surgeon. We need to do an imaging to see whether the inner ear structures are present or absent and then the surgery can be planned accordingly (whether they want better appearance and hearing or whether they are OK if the child is able to hear from both sides)
