Country singer, Luke Bryan, wears Microtia Awareness wrist band during Detroit concert

Luke Bryan

On October 26th, 2018, country singer, Luke Bryan, wore our Ear Community Microtia awareness wrist band during his concert in Detroit! Our support group member, Katie Davison, gave it to him at his concert and he put our awareness wrist band on!  Katie stated, “Yes!!! That’s Luke Bryan wearing one of the Microtia bracelets!!! We gave it to him at his concert in Detroit and he put it on!!!! ❤” #LukeBryan #MicrotiaAwareness #EarCommunity  💙👂💙

Many children and adults and their families, within the Microtia and Atresia community, were absolutely touched that Luke did this!  This meant so much to the children and adults who have Microtia (missing or underdeveloped outer ears) and Atresia (missing or underdeveloped ear canals, resulting in hearing loss) as Microtia and Atresia are both rare congenital birth conditions.  Approximately 500 children are born each year with Microtia and Atresia in the United States (1 out of 6,000).  Many of these children struggle in life with fitting in, having to deal with public stares, and trying to manage their hearing loss.  Everyone just wants to be treated kindly and to be accepted.  This was so kind and supportive of Luke to do this and it touched all of these families hearts.

National Microtia Awareness Day is coming up this November 9th and many within our community are excited to help raise awareness about Microtia and Atresia and to help promote kindness.  On our national awareness day, supporters who embrace our day, help raise both public and educational awareness about Microtia and Atresia including medical professionals, families, audiology and ENT organizations and associations, and hearing device and medical device implant companies.  Again, thank you Luke Bryan for being so kind.  So many of us appreciated what you did in Detroit!
Thank you!
