Being born with microtia should not limit your opportunities in education or your future career, although hearing differences may mean some people benefit from additional support. At school, college or university, adjustments such as preferential seating, assistive listening technology, written instructions and support from specialist teachers can help make learning more accessible. As young people move into employment, understanding their rights and discussing reasonable adjustments with employers can help them feel confident and supported in the workplace. Everyone’s experience of microtia is different, and with the right information and support, individuals can pursue their ambitions and achieve their goals.
