Paul Stanley: Level 3 Microtia

Paul Stanley was the lead singer of KISS, one of the biggest rock bands in the world at the height of their career. So, it may come as a surprise that he was born with a defect that caused him to be deaf in one ear. Paul has a condition called level 3 microtia, which means that he has no ear canal on his right side. The condition is rare, occurring in only one out of every 8,000 births. Paul says, “I may not hear music the way other people hear it, but I have nothing else to compare it to, or didn’t for most of my life… I have no sense of the direction of sound, yet I have no trouble mixing a stereo album.” He wears a hearing aid and now supports a charity for children with microtia. #NikolaysGeneticsLessons #Kiss #paulStanley #eddieTrunk #kissmusicalGroup #geneSimmonscelebrity #paulStanleymusicalArtist #aceFrehleymusicalArtist #microtia #microtiaSurgery #earSurgery #earReconstruction #PlasticSurgery #artec3dSpider #artecSpider3dScanner #microtiaEarSurgeryBeforeAndAfter #microtiaEar #microtiaEarReconstruction #microtiaEarSurgery
