Philippa shares, “This is my daughter Rosie, who will be featured in a new documentary series called Face Doctors. It follows patients at Addenbrookes in Cambridge who have conditions or injuries affecting the face and they asked to film Rosie when she had her first prosthetic ear fitted.
The team were all lovely and Addenbrookes have been amazing, but the process hasnโt been quite as simple as the final edit.
I hope we have represented the microtia community well, I wanted it to be clear that we think she looks perfect with or without her new ear.
The show is on Really at 9pm on Wednesday, then Discovery Plus On Demand.”

The London Landmarks is a closed road, central London run and is the only half marathon to go through both the City of London and City of Westminster.
The event is not your average half marathon! From cultural landmarks and heritage to the city’s quirky and hidden secrets, runners get to explore the capital on a route like no other!
Our virtual meet is back this Monday, 3rd July at 8pm. We welcome adults with microtia and parents/carers of children who have microtia to join us.

Saira, a researcher from Aston University, is looking for parents/carers of a child with microtia, and children/adults who were born with microtia themselves to interview as part of her study in looking at the lived experiences of growing up with microtia and the impact on hearing.
For more information or to take part please email Saira – s.hussain14@aston.ac.uk
The fourth of the Hearpeers webinar series, held in partnership with MED-EL, will be hosted by Allison, a bone conduction hearing system user, who wears the ADHEAR.
Allison will discuss her life prior to receiving the ADHEAR, how her confidence and independence has grown and how she finally accepted that she had a hearing loss and needed help!
Allison has had a hearing loss for most of her life, which failed to be recognised until the age of 16. After refusing hearing aids in her early adult life, she came to terms with needing help 5 years ago when she received the ADHEAR, and has not looked back since!
“I love the ADHEAR, itโs my little buddy! Small and discreet, fully hidden behind my ear and under my hair. No surgery, no pain but lots to gain!”
Join Allison in this webinar as she discusses her experiences of living with a hearing loss, how she came to terms with needing help with her hearing, learning that she had a cholesteatoma in her ear which needed surgery, and the impact it has on her career, hobbies and everyday life, followed by a Q&A session.
This webinar will be held on Saturday 24th June at 11am, click on the link below to book your place.
