Abstract
Inner ear malformations associated with hearing loss or vestibular dysfunction are discussed from the viewpoint of the etiologies of the malformation. Symptoms of classification of inner ear malformations are discussed. The significance of malformations of the cochlea and vestibular aqueduct to auditory function are discussed. Genetics features and characteristics of Branchio-oto-renal, Waardenburg's, Pendred's, DiGeorge's, Wildervanck, Fountain, and Treacher Collins syndromes are discussed in relation to ear abnormalities and hearing. Similar attention is given to genetic studies of nonsyndromic hearing loss.
