Abstract
Inner ear malformations (IEM) of the inner ear roughly represent 20% of congenital sensorineural hearing loss. There are eight different categories. They may present with different audiological configurations, ranging from normal hearing to conductive, mixed, and sensorineural hearing loss. As a result, different treatment options are available for different malformations. Hearing aids, stapedotomy, cochlear and brainstem implantation are the treatment options in IEMs. In this chapter these treatment options are described in detail in each category of IEM.
