ABSTRACT:
An ear flattening device is provided by a pair of flexible pads interconnected by a flexible, one-piece spacer block. The outer sides of the pads are provided with a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive for releasably bonding the pads one to the back side of the ear and the other to the confronting surface of the head. The adhesive layers are protected temporarily by a removable cover sheet. In one embodiment a single spacer block is substantially centered within the perimeter of the pair of pads, and in a second embodiment the pads are elongated arcuately and two laterally spaced apart spacer blocks are positioned approximately in the center of the lateral halves of the pads. In both instances the central positioning of the spacer blocks centralizes the pull on the pads relative to the skin and thereby maximizes the adherence of the pads to the skin.
