Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a systemic connective tissue disease that affects many systems and organs. Features of the disease are bone deformities, blue sclerae, and changes in the teeth, all of which may be accompanied by hearing loss. Bone fragility also affects structures of the ear, with half the patients developing changes in the auditory ossicles, which manifest as hearing loss. The most typical malformation affects the stapes, although the site of malformation within the middle ear varies. This study aims to characterize patients with OI who underwent surgery due to hearing loss and to find factors that affect the hearing results.
