    This case study documents a rare instance of delayed onset sensorineural hearing loss in an infant. Surgical repair of bilateral fistulas may have halted and potentially reversed the hearing degradation.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Genetics
    • Pediatric Audiology

    Background:

    • Delayed onset sensorineural hearing loss (DSNHL) is a significant concern in pediatric audiology.
    • While often hereditary, the underlying causes can be complex and multifactorial.
    • Early identification and intervention are crucial for managing hearing loss in infants.

    Observation:

    • A previously healthy infant presented with normal hearing until 13 months of age.
    • A mild high-frequency hearing impairment was incidentally detected at 25 months.
    • The hearing loss rapidly progressed to severe levels within six months.

    Findings:

    • This represents the youngest documented case of hereditary delayed onset sensorineural hearing loss.
    • The patient had bilateral oval and round window fistulas, a previously unrecognised factor.

  • Surgical repair of the fistulas was performed.

    • Implications:

    • Surgical intervention for congenital fistulas may be a critical factor in managing certain types of DSNHL.
    • This case highlights the importance of thorough audiological and anatomical evaluation in cases of rapidly progressing hearing loss.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the link between window fistulas and delayed onset hearing loss.
