Welcome to the EarWell Centers of Texas
At the EarWell Centers headquartered in Dallas. Our highly trained team focus on the nonsurgical correction (ear molding) of misshapen ears in newborn infants. We employ the revolutionary EarWell Infant Ear Correction System which restores a near-perfect shape to almost all infant ear deformities. Recent evidence shows that deformities that persist after the first week of life are unlikely to self-correct and the only remaining option is surgery in later childhood. The good news is that results with EarWell treatment are as good or better than what can be achieved with surgery and without the related pain, anesthesia, and related surgery costs. Becon Medical, Ltd. is the manufacturer of the EarWell™ that was invented by Dr. H. Steve Byrd. Beacon Medical works closely with prominent surgeons like Dr. Byrd to unmet surgical needs and satisfy these needs through the development of innovative products like EarWell.
Our Philosophy
Dr. Steve Byrd’s lifelong philosophy for the EarWell ear molding device used during infancy was to prevent the psychosocial distress that a majority of children with abnormal ears experience throughout their lifetime. He believes that global education on the application of this nonsurgical device used during infancy will prevent the dissatisfaction or social maladjustment caused by prominent misshapen ears in babies. The published tests used in research studies by leading researchers were the Child Behavior Check List, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, and the Children’s Depression Inventory. There are documented older children of multiple ages with misshapen ears whose problems are too extensive to be solved even by surgical intervention. Our physicians at the EarWell Centers desire that children destined for this psychological outcome may be prevented. We place great value on personal relationships with our families. We are honored that parents trust us with their child’s care and we take this responsibility very seriously. It is fantastic to be a part of the excitement that surrounds the entrance of these newborns into their families.
