About Paul Stanley Ear

Before having reconstructive surgery at the age of 30 in 1982, Stanley's right ear had a congenital abnormality called microtia that caused it to be malformed. He struggled to distinguish the direction of sounds, was unable to hear on that side, and struggled to interpret speech in noisy settings.

A lifelong interest in stars is what he cites for his connection to the character, but he has dabbled with other aesthetic ideas for his makeup at various stages. The Starchild is what has remained. Stanley, along with the other founding members of Kiss, put out a first studio album in 1978 with the same name. He released a solo song in 1989 for the Wes Craven horror movie Shocker. He co-wrote "Angel to You (Devil to Me)," a song by the Boston power pop group Click Five, in 2005.
