The article reports on the limits regarding the study of the stapes reflex thresholds as a diagnostic method with profoundly deaf young children. A number of 30 children and adolescents have been tested at high intensities and the findings indicate stapedian reflexes at 250 and 500 Hx (all the patients) 1000 Hz (the majority of patients) and 1500 Hz (some patients).

The stapedius muscle is a very small skeletal muscle that connects the pyramidal eminence to the stapes through the stapedial tendon. It is very rare that stapedius muscle and tendon are congenitally absent; however, this has been reported previously in the literature and the current report. Our patient was a middle-aged male who presented with hearing loss.

Background: Enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) syndrome can mimic otosclerosis in adults, presenting with an air-bone gap (ABG) and even absent stapedial reflexes. The ABG in inner-ear disorders is currently the object of several authors' studies and seems to be related to a third mobile window (TMW) phenomenon. This can lead to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.

Current noninvasive methods of clinical practice often do not identify the causes of conductive hearing loss due to pathologic changes in the middle ear with sufficient certainty. Wideband acoustic immittance (WAI) measurement is noninvasive, inexpensive and objective. It is very sensitive to pathologic changes in the middle ear and therefore promising for diagnosis.

The cause of sudden conductive loss in the absences of other vestibulo-audiologic abnormalities can be isolated to specific subsites of the ossicular chain using audiometric testing. In the absence of such abnormalities, a rare etiology may be the cause after an inciting trauma. Laryngoscope, 134:4344-4346, 2024.
