Pinna Anomalies Associated With Congenital Conductive Hearing Loss

Burton F. Jaffe M.D.1

1 Departments of Otolaryngology, Harvard Medical School, and Children's Hopital Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts

This paper compares the normal pinna with the abnormal congenitally malformed pinna. Then the abnormal pinna is related to case histories where a hearing loss was found due to a congenital malformation of the middle ear ossicles. Careful examination of the pinna, therefore, may be a simple diagnostic sign of an underlying potentially surgically correctable hearing loss. An abnormal pinna is more often associated with a middle ear anomaly than with any other congenital malformation including a urinary tract anomaly.
