Background:

Large vestibular aqueduct (LVA) syndrome is a congenital inner ear malformation.
It is associated with sensorineural hearing loss and vestibular dysfunction.

Observation:

LVA syndrome is often diagnosed late in life.
Patients typically present with profound sensorineural hearing loss.

Findings:

This study provides a tutorial on LVA syndrome.
Three case studies illustrate the clinical presentation and progression of LVA syndrome.

Implications:

Increased awareness among audiologists is crucial for timely diagnosis.
Early identification may allow for better management of hearing loss and vestibular symptoms.
