Right auricular prosthesis, clipped onto a gold bar since 1999

“When I was born, my parents wanted to hide the fact that I was missing my right ear. I had a “Beatles” haircut, which caused me a lot of problems in my childhood - particularly during my teenage years when I was constantly taunted by people my age and, unfortunately, my two brothers as well.

I wanted to change my life when I was 15 because I couldn’t stand it anymore. With the support of my parents, I considered several reconstruction options and it was Anne-Marie Riedinger’s talent, kindness and passion for her work that convinced me.

When I received my first ear prosthesis in 1999, the first thing I did was get my hair cut.  It was a hallelujah moment for me.

For more than 20 years now, I have consulted Anne-Marie on a regular basis and I have never regretted my choice. Today, my partner and daughter are my driving forces, and my ear has become a social accessory. I can talk about it without embarrassment or sorrow, and I only wear it for its decorative value.”
