N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Riley was born with Microtia, a congenital deformity where the external ear is underdeveloped.

According to the event, doctors will conduct special hearing tests to see if Riley has any hearing abilities. If doctors determine he cannot hear at all, he will be diagnosed with Anotia, which is the complete absence of the pinna.

The event “Tears for Ears” is raising money to assist with the costs of the surgeries. You can find more information about the event here.
