Experts will be using cartilage from Kieran Sorkin's ribs to construct the ears and graft them to his head. This eight-year-old was born without ears and had small lobes in place of ears. He has undergone many operations and also has a hearing aid, due to which he has been able to hear moderately. Medics will be carving cartilage from six of his ribs and making it into the shape of ears. It will then be attached during an operation next year. Source-Medindia
