Hello! If you’re looking at this site right now, that probably means you’re looking to learn a little more about aural atresia. Well, you’ve certainly arrived at the right place! My vision for this site is to raise awareness for aural atresia and to provide you (kids, teens, and/or parents) who are looking for additional resources to have both information and support based on my personal experience. I hope to give you a platform to feel connected, and let you know that you are not alone. Did you know that approximately 1 in every 10,000 people are born with aural atresia, yet it still remains one of the least publicized deformities?

Greetings and the Honest Truth:

Hi! My name is Lucas Anmolsingh and chances are if you’re reading this, you and I have something in common. I am currently a freshman at Yale University, and I know what it feels like growing up with aural atresia, and I will not lie and tell you it has been easy to deal with. I am also not going to tell you that nobody will notice, because they will; I learned that the hard way. I remember whenever we had hearing tests in school, they would send a few of us down to take the test at the same time, and none of the students knew of my condition. I was embarrassed by it, and I felt like I was different from everybody else. Little did I know that I would come to love my ears one day. No matter what, always remember that you are amazingly wonderful the way you are. Growing up, my parents and I had very little knowledge about my condition and there didn’t seem to be much support out there, at least not to my knowledge. I didn’t know anyone who had my condition and I didn’t have any place to go to connect with someone who truly understood my situation. That is exactly why I made this website, for you! Embrace your ears, they are a part of who you are!
