Bill overview
This House Resolution seeks to recognize and raise awareness about National Microtia and Atresia Awareness Day on November 9, 2023. It highlights the challenges faced by individuals born with microtia (a condition affecting the outer ear) and aural atresia (the absence or closure of the ear canal), often leading to hearing loss. The resolution encourages widespread celebration, support, and efforts to improve diagnosis, access to resources, and reduce stigma associated with these conditions. It also calls on policymakers to prioritize awareness and advancements in technology to benefit those affected.
