For most little girls it's as simple as booking into a chemist, but for 10-year-old Ella Morgan it's going to take a $110,000 major surgery.

The Albury Public School student was born with microtia atresia, the under development of the outer ear.

Her left ear appears similar to most, but her right one is smaller and closed over so she cannot hear out of it.

"I was four when I first noticed it when mum was doing my hair," Ella said.

"I saw it and I tried to pull it off.

"I'm glad mum and dad tie my hair back more and I feel pretty happy to talk about it to people who ask.

"My friends wanted to know in kindy if it closed up or if I was born with it."

Ella's parents, Belinda Taylor and Nick Morgan, have been tirelessly fundraising to try to raise the big sum by the surgery date on November 10.

Organising events was like a "full-time job" on top of their regular work and caring for their other two daughters Lucy, 5, and Evie, 3.

The pair have been working to raffle a Nissan Micra, regularly sell Poppy jewellery at the Little Me Market in Wodonga and are organising a Gala Dinner on April 23.

Ella said the surgery would change her life.

"It would be pretty amazing for me because all my life I could only hear out of one ear," she said.

"It can be hard in classes and around friends.

"I really want to get my ears pierced too.

"I'm excited about having the surgery and when I do, I really want to thank everyone."

Despite her openness about what she calls her "little ear", Ella has had to face bullies and answer many questions about it.

Ms Taylor said the decision to undertake surgery was made with Ella, but wasn't made lightly.

It came after years of research and discussions with families who had been through the same thing.

The pair also attended a microtia and atresia conference in Brisbane where they met Doctor John Reinish and Doctorr Joseph Roberson - the only two surgeons in the world who, together, can perform this type of surgery.

Ms Taylor said Ella had everything she needed inside her ear to hear, but now she needed the 12-hour surgery in America to make it happen. 

"We know it’s a lot of money to raise, but we hope we can do it," she said.

"Ella has one more year of primary school, want her to recover and start fresh for high school.

"She has copped a bit of bullying, but it has made her a strong empathetic kid, she is a very confident little girl.

"Academically, sometimes she struggles to hear in the classroom and just in general.

"Sometime we have to leave crowds because her other ear has become really sensitive.

"And if she gets the slightest cold or infection in winter, her hearing is drastically reduced.

"We understand this isn’t life threatening, there are kids out there much worse off, but it's life changing.

"When your babies are born you look at them and want the best for them.

"When you consider they are struggling, it means the world to Nick and I to see her happy and see her have a positive outcome."

Tickets are on sale for a gala dinner at the Albury Entertainment centre from 6pm April 23.
