Ear Community Summer Picnics for Microtia and Atresia Families – 2020


Ear Community is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that helps Microtia and Atresia families around the world. Ear Community is proud to host six family picnics in the United States this year! Microtia and Atresia, Hemifacial Microsomia, Goldenhar Syndrome, and Treacher Collins families…please join us!

Our summer picnics provide a wonderful opportunity for everyone to come together in the same situation, share experiences, and maybe even make a new friend. Lunch will be provided and there will be lots of fun for the kids. Representatives from hearing device companies will be available so you can learn more about the latest bone conduction hearing aids and try these hearing devices on if you haven’t had the chance to do so already. We’ll have representatives from various medical device companies with helpful options for Microtia and Atresia as well helpful ear reconstructive surgeons, ENTs, audiologists, anaplastologists, and therapists mingling with all of us to help us find answers to our questions.

So, please enjoy a FUN and FREE day out with the kids! Please RSVP to the following hosts at a picnic near you. We look forward to seeing everyone this summer! – The Ear Community Organization
