While still developing, in the uterus, the baby's kidneys and ears develop at the same time. Knowing this, when the doctors see things wrong with the ears, they automatically check out the kidneys just to make sure there is nothing wrong with them. The ultrasound is harmless. It is not uncommon in newborns, I've seen it lots of times where I work. The outcome will depend on what, if anything the doctor finds on the ultrasound. Hope your baby is fine.
