Deafness is one of the most common clinical findings in patients affected by malformation syndromes. It may be congenital, neurosensory or transmissive in nature, or acquired as the consequence of phlogistic processes due to craniofacial malformations. It is important to identify and classify the hypoacusis in order to start therapy as early as possible, using surgery or prosthesis according to the indications, to avoid the child suffering both verbal and intellectual impairment.
